The final version with detailed validation sticker

Hey Ray, I dunno if it's anything you'd use (or if you already have it), ANd I also don't know how much I have, but I have some GREEN and some WHITE reflective metal tape, which is THE stuff that the state used to use on speed limit etc.(white) signs, and the stuff for expressway (green) signs. It would make them look EXACTLY like real tags!

I appreciate the offer,but it was not my intention to phony up a plate;just to have some fun with what I had for materials at hand.If you notice on the sticker,the expiration date is 1944 and the little numbers next to it are my birth date so if I ever got stopped with it on the car,they couldn't say I was using fraudulent tags.
My wife did a wall in our house awhile ago that simulated cinder blocks with moss and vines growing around them and if you stand back and look at it,it appears real.Pic enclosed.

I understand Ray... That's not what I was gettin at. I noticed the date, and thought it'd be cool do do the same thing, just with a touch more "realism".

 

WOW!

I really dig this.
Thanks for posting this "how to"...

IT rocks.

Amazing work!!!

 

Great job Ray! love your work! Thanks for the step by step!

 

I used a slightly different version as a lad of 15, using some carpet tape, and a piece of shirt box. we have (for the most part) white plates. An orange marker and a green marker and a real FL plate to use as a model.

A dark night and Presto! The neighborhood dick that was a year older than I with a car daddy bought him now has a new vanity plate. Never got to see the look on his face when the cop pulled him over and pointed out his "FAGGOT" license plate.

 

BTTT

 

Sweet touch Ray!!....certainly have great depth in your craft!!

 

Ray,
Thanks for the tech post. Very cool.

 

I know I'd have to take a few looks before stopping a car with those tags...
