That sucks!!!

There are a few laser cutting and engraving places here in Portland I've used over the years for various stuff on my show car. I might try and do a custom one off 94" for myself, but I'd want to know what the heck I'm doing, what parts to get, etc...first. Kind of a way to point me in the right direction. Would you be willing to PM me and help me out? I don't even know it anything would actually come of it, nor would I sell it. It's just I've always like the shaved 94+ panels, but I want reverse lights. This whole idea is just what I've always envisioned.

I'm be extremely grateful for any help you'd offer

What do you have left?

Ben · 03-07-2009, 11:20 PM

A handful of MR2 plates, 1 TRD plate, a couple turbo plates...... I am a couple weeks out on turnaround time - I have been busier than ever with other things going on. I can still make one for you, it will just take some time.

MR2 Drifter · 03-13-2009, 03:19 AM

Yes, I still have the MR2 plates. Unfortunately, I am far behind on making these. I might not be able to get them together until April. I have had quite a few personal things come up, so I am a little short on time. But I will make them for you

mr29180 · 03-14-2009, 12:10 AM

^just let me know once u get them together so I could pay u and pm me how much and sn for the paypal....and do u have any more led (red) for the climate control I wanna do mine too...

Luke_L · 03-30-2009, 11:41 AM

I have always liked this mod. Can you describe how the front cover plate is made? Do you buy a shell or mold one for the lens?

Ben · 03-30-2009, 01:38 PM

They are laser cut aluminum. The name plate is completely custom made and does not reuse the stock plastic badge. These have to be glued to the garnish.

I pretty much have everything straightened up over here so I can start making these again. I can go ahead and order the LEDs if you are still interested.

So are you considering doing it for the 94-95 tails again?

Ben · 04-08-2009, 03:05 PM

I should have worded this differently: I can now finish selling the remaining plates that I have already had laser cut. It was making the light bars that was holding me back. We are no longer making new plates - just selling what we have left in stock. So the 94-95 project isn't going to happen for a while.

Thanks for the clarification!!

SnowRocker88 · 04-09-2009, 01:13 PM

Hey ben, would you still be willing to make and sell the light bars if I make some plates?

mr29180 · 04-09-2009, 01:31 PM

Ben pm sent need to know how much the plate"badge" and the red and blue LEDs.
Let me know soonnn thankssss

Ben · 04-15-2009, 11:15 PM

These are still available. I finished a TRD plate for someone, so I have 2 left. You can be one of 3 people in the world with a lit TRD nameplate

Foygroup · 04-16-2009, 12:16 AM

If you still have any lighted MR2 rear plates available I will take one.

Ben · 04-16-2009, 11:31 PM

^ PM'd

Ben · 05-06-2009, 02:17 PM

I no longer have any more powdercoated MR2 plates. All that I have left are painted MR2 plates and "reject" plates. I still have a very few powdercoated TRD/turbo/SW20 plates left.

Foygroup · 05-09-2009, 03:02 PM

Ben,

I received my MR2 plates this week and hope to have them installed later this weekend. I will post some pictures when they are done.

Thanks,

Bill
