I used to have plates like that made by Grandview Aluminum.

http://www.gapalum.com/Custom_Bumper/custom_bumper.html

We sold about 10 a week at the parts store I used to work for, and I had special ones made up that I sold at swap meets. The best sellers were Oldsmobile, Buick and one I had them make up that combined the Mopar Pentastar and the Direct Connection logo. When I was selling them, the flat aluminum plates weren't as common as they are today. Sometime in the late 70's that came to an end after someone won a federal suit (I think it was Notre Dame) that kept companys from producing and selling unlicensed products using copyrighted logos.
Anyway, here's my personal favorite that I used to sell a lot of.....



Oh, they can make them in aluminum or something that looks like bronze.

TDW...Tell me I'm missing something in your reply or is that the singular most needlessly rude post I've ever read on this board.
