License Plate Frames

Hi everybody!

I'm going to get a set of custom license plate frames for my car! But I'm not sure what to have it say...here's what I have in mind:

Top: Silly Racer,
Bottom: V6s are for kids!

Anyone have any really cool or funny license plate frames that they've seen?

Thanks!

Or should I just stick with not having a license plate frame?

if you get that plate...watch out for GN's, TTA's, Sy's and Ty's. If you got the backup then go fot it.

Hm, good point. :O

I was gonna put "*****" or "import" instead of "racer", but my mom said that sounds racist, and would most likely get beat by the dude that has a baseball bat in his car. :P

Perhaps "4 Cylinder" instead of "V6" would be better? :P

If you really want to target Imports..how about:

Silly Racer
V-Tech's for Kids


There is actually a toy co. call VTech...they make childrens computers.
Personally, if my frame were to say something I would just say something about my own car. Nowadays you just dont know what is fast. Imports CAN be fast. It's just the majority of "ricers" that give Imports the bad rap. I'm not talkin supra's or rex's either, but Civic's, SE-R's and the like.

Hmm, good point.

Anyone got any ideas or other frames they've seen that are cool/funny? :P

Here's a couple I came up with:

"It's red, it's fast...and no, I didn't steal it!"

Top: "Driver carries no cash"
Bottom: "He just paid his insurance"

I think the best looking frame out there is a simple black border to hide the ugly edges of the plate.

I picked one up that says:

Dale Earnhardt (signature real small)


INTIMIDATOR (in big bold letters)

If you your a fan. Looks good on my camaro that is white with gray stripes with black border. Many people mistaken it for a Earnhardt edition.

Not to mention Turbo Supras and Twin Turbo 300 ZX's. I think if you put that on your car it would really show how smart you are! Don't beat on V6s when alot of them can hand you your *** in some races. Just a word of advice.

Cool, thanks for all the responses so far!

Monkie and TriGenRS: Yeah, I had a feeling that I was looking for trouble in the V6 one, but I threw it in there just because I thought it sounded funny! ;p I figured I'd ask for input before diving in head-first into a pool full of sharks. :P

I do like scottmoyer's and AT4 T/A's suggestions.

Once again, thanks for the help, advice, and efforts to keep my head from growing too big! :P
