Default Finally made my Halltech License Plate (wannabe)

Well I had been debating doing it for a long time, I was always afraid I would mess something up. Well I wasn't about to pay what they go for (sorry just me) so I figured what the hell I'll try it. I had been looking around at some pix on ls1tech and I pm'd "LS1290". He actually had some screen material left over so I bought it off him and tonight I figured I'll try it (lol, on the wifes car first ) But it took me about an hour taking my time and it was actually very easy. I have $26 into it and I think it looks great. I have a pic below, sorry I got started late and by the time i finished it was like midnight So its not a great pic, I'll get some better ones tomorrow. Im just excited I cant wait for my new FRC to get here so I can do the same thing to that. Let me know what you think

Thanks guys, if it wasnt for Keith I probably wouldnt have done it. What I used for the trim is that door trim for cars, you know how they have that chrome one, well same thing but in black, it worked out perfect.

More pix as requested. You can see a bit of a mark on the bottom corner's its from a marker, when I was deciding what shape I liked. I found I didnt need to do that, lol but it was the first one so now I know.

Looks great! How did you secure the screen to it or is it held in with the black stripping?

Wow honestly I like that better then the bought ones. Mainly because it has the black trim around it, just like the z06 brake duct screens do.
