rmackman Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've always liked license plate frames since it's a good way to show who you're a fan of without putting crappy bumper stickers all over your car or those vinyl appliques that go on the windows. There's a website that I found just called Autoplates.com (http://www.autoplates.com/) that will pretty much let you design whatever you want for your auto tags. Since my allegiances sit in both Florida and Wisconsin, I decided to create a frame that includes both. Kind of an all-in-one or all-season frame. Here's what I did, but you guys can go to their site, copy their template, and design whatever you want. It ends up being $35, which is a lot for a frame, but obviously you pay more when they're custom jobs. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I guess I've never understood the need to make sure that everyone driving behind you knows what your 32 favorite sports teams are.

infrared41 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I guess I've never understood the need to make sure that everyone driving behind you knows what your 32 favorite sports teams are.It's more of a decoration than it is a message. I have a Toledo Rockets license plate frame on my car and an Ohio State frame on my motorcycle. I put them on because I like them. I don't really care if anyone reads them or not. I just like how they look. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet's right about the 32 favorite team thing. I'm just talking about plate frames in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 How do you customize it??Create your design in photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, save it as a .png, then insert it onto their template. Email the whole template in. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.

Cujo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 FYI, about 80% of your logos are of the outdated variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers, Panthers, Gators, and Badgers logos are still current. 4 out of 9 = about 44% correct. Anyways, I wasn't posting my design to be critiqued. It is exactly how I want it. I posted it as an example of what you can do if you'd like. The company allows you to make any design you wish. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

Legend Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That's a really cool idea. I too hate bumper stickers and would rather have this. It isn't 32 and he wants to do it. Why overexaggerate and make a comment if you don't like it? He likes alot of teams and wants to show his team pride, what's the big deal?I also like that you use the logos you prefer. I'm the same way. I would never put anything with the new Lightning logo on my car becuase the logo is horse . The new Marlins logo sucks hard too, so I like what you did.

Chief. Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm too picky about what goes on my Jeep. It's black, so all I have is a silver metal Chiefs decal thingy on the driver side, and a metal Jayhawk of the same size and color on the passenger side. My brother got me a full-color Sporting Kansas City decal, and I've hesitated putting it on. IT DOESN'T MATCH!Had he bought the silver metal Sporting KC decal, I'd have put it on immediately. The fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fool.Yes, but you could get a silver metal license plate frame, and design a black and silver graphic for it, and then it'd match. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

rmackman Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 So here's the finished product! Now, knowing how critical everyone gets, let me explain several things:I'm aware there's a huge Gator logo on the license plate, so why would I put another logo on the frame? Because I live in Chicago, and at some point, I'm going to have to switch to an Illinois plate. Therefore, the Gators logo will be gone as they don't offer UF custom plates here.I know my car could use a wash. The salt on the roads makes it tough to keep clean. I actually washed it on Sunday, so it got that dirty in less than a week.I realize you cannot see my license plate number. I did that on purpose. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

Cujo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Not bad. Considering you dropped $40 on it, are you sold on the overall quality of the frame itself?And is that the same car sold to you by Snoop Minnis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
