Thumbs up Some TA License Plate Covers I've Been Making

I've made a few of these the past couple of weeks. Just got done with one airbrushing the firebird logo on it. These are more for forced induction cars that have to cut out the front for a FMIC. Critique and comment (suggestions?), let me know what you guys think

I can do any color. SOM I will have to order paint for though (usually takes 1-2 weeks for paint to come in). Just let me know.

They are for all 98-02 Trans Ams. I make them. Only reason I posted them in forced induction is because usually people that go with front mounts cut out the bumper leaving a huge hole, some like the look others don't, this plate is for those that want to keep a stockish look while still providing adequate air to the FMIC.

I was needing one real bad for my Procharged car with FMIC and I sent him a PM and he said hes not doing them anymore.

I think that is bullshit. Can't quit me when I need it the most.

I got 4 mother ******* lawyers standing right here, and we'll strike this bitch up.
