Brad,
I used one of these just for cosmetic purposes... the old one was
VERY beat and all the black paint was gone.
The new plate is identical and I bought a punch set from HB and
re-punched the numbers. You can tell at all... other than it
looks good. The factory punching was by hand with lots of
variation so it's easy to duplicate the plate. I'll lend you the
punch set or just send the letter pieces you need.

Subject: replacement commission number plate usage
Listers,
Have any of you used one of the replacement comm # plates sold by
TRF or
Moss and actually gone through a DMV or some other kind of state
vehicle
VIN ID number inspection with it on the car? If so were there
any problems
associated with using this plate?
I will most likely need to use one of these plates to try and
pass the
inspection and I'm a little nervous about not having the original
plate to stick
on the car for inspection purposes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TIA
Brad
