That is an old *** Japanese plate, where did you get your hands on it. Thing must be from the 60's or 70's. And from Nagano too.

If you really want to do it right you need to mount it right in the middle of the front bumper so that is completely screws up the look of the front of the car. I hate it that my car has this big white zit on its front chin, but the law demands it, so go for the real deal and stick right where it should go.

And while Kanagawa is the home of Nissan, you should be trying to get plates from Tochigi or Utsunomiya where our cars are born.

Just my 2 yen.

I found it in a 10ft pile of petrified lizard poop while excavating in a small island off the coast near Nagasaki. What can I say I thougt it was a rock until I found the plate and pieces of Mothra.

NC has a crap load, pardon the pun, of custom plates as I'm sure most states do, haven't found anything in the laws though that say you can customize a plate other then what they make available.

first off its not from ebay. second i know the ap1 is for s2000. that is what it came off of mY s2000. I just used it so people could get the idea. You cant get chassis codes on real jdm plates. hense you have to order custom ones. Maybe if you read the post where i said i want to have the G37 chassis code on a plate you would have understood that. thanks mr 3 post noob....

Wow I just got called a noob. Funny. I usually post on my350z.com. Sorry for the low post count. I'll get right on that boss!

I'm sure you already know this but the reason people in Japan put the plate on the side of the bumper, is NOT to look cool but allow for max air flow to their intercooler and becasue they are required to have a front plate.

1. Your state does not require a front plate
2. You are not turbo charged.

Nice job riceboy.

rice-o-roni.

Just keep it clean.

By the way, who the hell is paying 70.00 for those plates??

I lived in Saitama for 2 years and never saw any that looked like they were written in crayon by a 2 year old.

It sould say: 埼玉 or just 埼

Wow that's really ugly, I think that it looks really clean without a plate up front. Keep it as is
