New DIY mod for the Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

It's a bite off euro plates but not enough to be a wannabe euro car. It comes down to where the bottom of my bumper is right above the lower grill perfect. I made it in a CAD program at work and cut it out on the laser.

The letters will be the same color as my car because obviously it'll be against my car. The material is rolled to fit the contour of my bumper so it'll fit snug all the way across.

The overall width is about 1" wider than regular license plate would be to keep it from being confused with trying to a be a euro plate.

I hope the site owners don't mind me using "Toyota Nation" but I also have an official toyotanation.com sticker on my back window that I bought from the site so I'm just trying to support it.

looks awesome. at first i thought it was a stencil for spray-painting the letters onto the car surface.

Cool I'd like to see it on your car. Post some pics. Maybe you could produce it with custom logos/text and make some profit.

Hopefully I'll have it on later today. I went to put on the third coat of paint this morning and I guess the humidity f*cked it up... it looks like a matte finish now

. I need to get some sandpaper and start over on the paint I guess. I needed to put a few coats of clear on it anyways.

Well the main one is still messed up... I tried sanding it down and redoing it but the f up from earlier shows through still.. so it'll be Tuesday before I fix it. Luckily I made a backup (which had runs from the new Krylon H20 paint... shittiest paint ever!). The backup is on my car till I have time to fix the main one. They're identical except the backup had too much of a roll in it... it works fine though.

Here is the installed pic of the backup one:

It looks a little off right now because my cf hood isn't on. When I get my new cf hood in I think it'll really set the front end off.
