    Default sunken numberplates

    Hey,
    Im interested in doin the sunken number plate mod on the back on my vs ute just a few questions,

    How do i do it? Because i always thought fiberglass but wouldn't it flex and crack? so would i need to cut a hole out then weld a box into the hole?

    How legal is it? would i need to get any certificates for it?

    Is bit easier to buy a pre done tailgate or do it myself?

    my first thought is buy a maloo garnish and modify and place it where you want instead of the centre (which IMO looks ugly)

    my idea would be to cut out the peice u want (but make it a good cut) then u can jus sink that peice u cut out, and then all u need to make is tha walls with abit of sheet metal or wateva....

    razor i just read ur signature if ur quarter mile takes 23 seconds what r u driving a charade?

    btw ummm imo the sunken number plate thing should be left to hiluxs and rodeos etc not on a vs but like they say each to there own.
    If u wanna know how to do it ur best bet would be to find some kind of miny truck forums? im sure theres something like that out there thatll help u
    I've driven fast cars I've done stupid shit in them each time i seem to come out on top i love you guardian angel

    vp ss 3 months to go
