CF License Panel for JDM IX Rear

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if any vendor makes a CF license panel for the JDM IX Rear?

Something like this...but for the JDM rear

WHY NOT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN. not that hard dude. there was a thread awhile back where somebody asked about that and i supplied a link to buy carbon fiber sheets cut them and wrapped them etc to make your own plate. but thats just me

Has anyone made their own using a carbon fiber sheet for the stock evo 8 or 9 bumper? Not the jdm bumper?

If you get the plate lined up perfect when installing the JDM rear, a simple license plate frame will cover up 99% of the gap your seeing.

I always thought someone should make a kit similar to this idea that would mount the license plate and plate lights and also be a trim piece that covers the gap left around the top half of the plate. This item could eliminate the USDM plate bracket and just accept the lights and mount the plate. Like a simple solution since no one has ever imported the correct plate/light mounting kit (due to plate hole alignment I suppose)

Yea because my problem is that I don't like the gap on there, and the gap on the left is a little bigger so whenever I do put a frame on there's still a noticeable gap.

I had a CF plate on my USDM bumper and I thought it looked baller...so it'd probably look nice on the JDM too, and eliminate the problem with the license plate gap at the same time.

I don't make one myself because I'm borderline retarded with that kind of stuff
