do you want real CF (of course you do!) or the fake stuff (noooo)

i think CBS, premier wiring, svc, etc all do fake CF ones

Have you looked into the led strips for lighting your plate.

Its small and makes for a less cluttered rear



one thing i saw was back lit plates nice but costly less is more



However one must remember rust is lighter than carbon fibre

Why not use the 3M Di-noc carbon fiber film?

I watched on discover channel an episode of WHEELER DEALERS where they used the 3M Di-noc film and the result was superb. Lamborghini uses the same stuff for they're cars in matte colors.

I got my Carbon Fibre number plate light from www.carbonwezel.co.uk. They do two, the old Mini style and the newer Mini style. I got the old style.
