I agree 100%

Nothing looks more gay than the small plate in big area and you can see the screw points.

I have a vision of green AIT747 plates, AJR Director's, no bodykit with grey mouldings and 300rwkw.

yeah that's why i suggested the small plates mounted centrally inside fullsize black plate holder. With my B series i always went slimline front fullsize rear, that's what it's really designed for. With the EB/EL plates are fullsize - as that's the only size that was around at the time. I am considering slimline in large plate covers though for the eb.

Make sure it has mudflaps, a rear sun louver and a bowls hat on the rear window.

They only list EA ones, off-white is an extra $22. They discount shipping for multiple items, and would possibly discount shades if we order enough. Haven't decided if I want one yet.

Please tell me you are not seriously getting '747' in the numberplates?

those venetians are awesome! Hey dan, get AIT747. That's a mad plate. Also get slimline some white venetians.

If you wanna go all out, respray it canary yellow with silver bars and get some adapters to fit VY SS rims But if you do that, change the plates to AITBT1

I love the AIT747 idea! There's a VL going around with WYT747! They're so good because they are stock!
Dan In regards to your question about what plates people have, I have slimline at the front and normal at the back. I have lowered the front plates though so they are more in the middle of the space provided...





Good luck with the plates...

I'd go AIT666 myself, but hey, your car.

I've got XBC351 here, just waiting for a car to put them on! White on black though.

I've seen a few BA's with 747 plates. I reckon they're OK for any jet powered car! I'd get some if I could think of something clever.

747 is ok if you have a Pratt & Whitney or a GE turbine under the hood
