They would be in the $25 range before shipping.
I bought one from this guy at Pomona a couple years ago and wanted a new one because I destroyed my old one by not paying attention to where I laid it down when I sold the Range Rover.
He's checking out to make sure it can be done and the exact cost. He gives a small price break, but not huge.
These are nice, heavy duty frames either zinc or brass then chrome plated. I'm not sure which to get, I had the zinc before and it's nice, the brass is supposed to be a bit nicer, though.
I'll post a couple pics of his work.
This is the design I asked him to produce.
20 is the magic number.

TX recently made a law against them... $200 fine and probable cause I don't get the law... but I abide it since I don't want to spend $200 on a ticket!!!!!

IMHO, it's too flashy and expensive for a 914. But, to each their own.
Just my $.02 worth. YMMV

im not too fond of the artwork. can we make them like the original club sticker?
Rouser
Feb 25 2004, 05:27 PM
If it can be made on a thinner-rimmed frame, with the artwork similar to this page's header, I'd buy one. Just drop the "www."

Could the design of the outline of the 914 be changed to top down mode like the new hats?
seanery
Feb 25 2004, 06:47 PM
they could, but they all would have to be.

I agree with the previous post that the www and the .com needs to go.

no problem, I had to go reread the thread to make sure it was there.
If we ordered as much as their regular clients they may make them faster, but I'm just happy to have such a manufacturer deal with us direct.

I'd get one if it was the style with the hidden mounting screws.

the bottom screws are hidden and the top screws are covered with chrome caps.

The thick border on the bottom where you have the logo would cover the month, year and county stickers on the Georgia plates so they are a no go here. I think lots of states have data in the lower corners of the plates and would be covered not a good idea.
seanery
Feb 26 2004, 12:09 PM
John,
In the case that your stickers are on the bottom, then, yes, these frames won't work. They were designed for the top stickers. With each state having it's own reasoning and agenda on registration stickers there is no way to get one frame that will work for all, unless it is very thin and blank.
Sorry GA guys.

Then you'll have to unvote me the one I said I would buy, Maine stickers are also on the bottom. Sorry.
I agree with (forget who), get rid of the www and keep the .com.

For those of you who ARE interested, would you like a TOP ON or TOP OFF version. We can only do one, so please voice your opinion and I can get some real pricing for these.

Feb 27 2004, 07:41 AM
either on or off. both look good.

Feb 27 2004, 08:54 AM
I vote top off. Question for those that live in states with stickers on the bottom of you plates, are you
required to have a plates front & rear? Not sure
how well it would look but why not put a frame the front plate? Its your car, do what you want, just asking?

actually, I expected them to be used more on their "other" cars/trucks.

Top off please. I plan to put the frame on the front bumper with a Porsche plate.

Ok, without the WWW. the frame would look better. I understand why the .com should be kept, but I still thing it would look better without.
What process is used for the lettering? If it's just paint, then I'll stick with my none vote, but if it's etched, then I'm a solid maybe.
I'd like to take some steelwool to it for a brushed finish then put it on my POS GTI.
As for the top, I'm all for topless driving, but in silouette form, a top looks sexier.

the design is cut out and filled with an epoxy paint.

Feb 27 2004, 03:51 PM
I also agree, top on looks better for the silouhette(sp?) I also think we should keep the .com but lose the www. Make sure people know it is a website.

Here is a revision. I'm not so sure the top off is the way to go. I liked it before I saw it, but not so much now...

and top on

Just a note to Dave and any other Mass owner. Mass DMV doesn't allow frames. If you go for your sticker they want to read the whole top and bottom. New car dealers used to attach their frames when they sold new vehicles. If you have a green single plate, then you can put it on the front with a porsche related plate. Check first before you get pulled over or rejected for a sticker. Been there.

Unfortunately, Maine has front and back plates
If my vote counts, I vote for top on, looks much better.

do you have a picture of the original 914world.com sticker?
i think it would look primo on the bottom of the frame

Aaron,
the first sticker's design won't work well on the license plate frame, there are too many things overlapping and different colors AND there is no way in hell that guy would be able to cut out the sillhouette of the car. I thought of that design when I started thinking about the frame idea.
