plates for ur state
the plates are so easy to make, that even my grand ma could make a pair or two. All you need is your imagination and corel draw. I made mines in less than 20 minutes. (california)
so come on and put your brain to work. lol

for real?
when you print the plate (before rezise) you lost all the pic quality. that is why i used corel, to trace all the pic and get normal quality..

once you copy and paste the image from the site, you should have to shrink it....keep doing it until you get it right. i must have gone thru a dozen sheets of paper until i got them to the right size
i made custom tags for all my mini-z's using the actual dmv (va) images and edited the text in my graphics program. i choose the 'fight terrorism' tags from virginia for most of my mini-z's.
here is a close up of one overland tag......the larger the picture you start with, the better it will loook when you shrink it. there isn't much you can do with a crappy picture though.... a good place to try is you states department of motor vehicles or whatever it's called. virginia will let you preview any of it's tags personalized, however you are limited to the number of characters. if youmake a blank liek i did you can add text yourself.

Actually, I do. I didn't realize you were in Va. Where did you pull that up, DC?
BTW, If you are in Va, I might have to pay you a visit and check out those Overlands.

i'd like to see your xmod work, very impressive. we could do some trial runs against my overlands, 01 and 02 racers.
