what do you think? I need to trim the left one up a bit...
I couldn't get the same fine detail on the leaf, so it's modified a bit...

they are aluminum with cut vinyl decals.

The Aluminum is sourced from old license plates :)

If you stick a full black decal on the cover you might be able to cut oot the detail parts leaving the silver license plate behind. I guess it all depends on how anal you want to be with it. It looks pretty good right now. :up:

Don't need one - but they do look good;

I especially like the one with the Electra logo.
