    do people still want these?

    just wondering I was dating a girl (that lives in Tokyo) until she went back after she graduated from Stout and we are still close. She said she can buy them there and send them back, and maybe other similar items.

    The yellow and green one is Wakaba, for new drivers.
    The other one is Koreisha, for old drivers.

    I bought a set of Wakaba marks at Tokyu Hands in Nagoya. They were magnetic. I'm pretty sure you can get static one for windows though too.

    ^^^ I don't even want to know what those are. Something edible inside the 'cups'?

    Prices on the window ones. I'd rock the k?rei untensha hy?shiki. At slightly over three decades, I think I need one. ;)

    Group buy is a good idea.

    I hate the plate on the front too! I've done some research and there is no way around it. either 25yrs old or buy a dealership and have a dealer plate on the back. But I have rigged my plate up legal but it much more subtle then stock. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

    Also, did you do a grill delete? If so...how?

    I got a kit with 3 piece to do the grill, There powder coated. Installing them wasn't easy it took some time put the fit was pretty good. I'm a jeweler so small detail jobs like this are what I'm use too. I used a Jewelers saw with a wax blade, But a Dremal tool would also work. The bolts used to hold the grill in from the inside are silver in color so i'm just finishing it with some gloss black paint and a fine painters brush and it should look Cleaaaaaaaan! I'll pull the center grill out and post some close up photos tomorrow.

    First , the license plate there were three basic steps bend the Minnesota part at a 80-90 Degree angle. Next on the bottom part of the lic plate by the tabs put a slight curve to fit tight to the stock plastic. Last drill two holes in the upper part of the fender opening and get two bolts in place.

    The grill delete I bought from Grill Craft It takes some time but It's worth it when your done, It looks perfect from the front, on the inside you can see some of the work it took to cut out all the old factory cross pattern.

    Have you ever been pulled over for having your plate mounted like that?




    Plus I'll be getting more info on the window stickers very soon :) the girl was seeing started her new job with Apple Japan in the Human resources department.



    she is checking on shipping. They are about $6 to $10 each package (most come in pairs)

    Nope, I've checked on regulations, and discussed it with the fuzz. Clean and legal! :cool:

    You can have the plate just about drag on the ground as long as they can read you numbers, reflect of your plate with there radar guns and see you tabs you good.
