Ellis Precision Custom CNC Aluminum License Plate Frames

[Ellis Precision]

Original request by Datajockeys can be found here: Who wants license plate frames? - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

Pricing (each):

$50 USD shipped

These will be machined from 6061 aluminum, anodized in your choice of current our finishes (but we recommend clear or architectural black for the absolute in finish longevity), and custom etched however you like!

You are welcome to change up the etching pattern on each plate frame you order, and we will provide renderings for each one. This takes a little time, but ensures we get you what you are after!

We need 100 plate frames or so to make this a go, and will not be collecting payments until we know this group buy will be a success.

Timeline:

Group buy close - August 19th
Ship date - October 1st

Anticipated production time is 6 weeks, and we will aim for October 1st to ship these. If the group buy takes longer to fill, we may have to adjust these dates, but no payments will be collected until we know for sure!

Please add your name to the list with what you'd like to indicate you'd like to take part!

Once I know there is enough interest between the FJ forum and here on T4R, I will set up a link to order via Ellis Precision

Cheers,

Joel

Most Toyota's only use 2 tabs, so we will be making these with 2 tabs, which you can tell us go top or bottom before we etch them.

Gloss black depicted. Please see our finishes on Ellis Precision for options.

Quebec Plate is to scale. Slimline design should fit most provinces and states. Tabs have been widened and now only appear either on the top or bottom, as you choose, not both.

Inside joke etchings that are so inside, I'm not even in the group that uses them!

The LIST:

1. Snow-Jet-MK5 - 1x
2. Bob J - 2x
3. 96706RROMJP - 1x
4. Peyto - 1x
5. headpaneer - 2x

For $50 is this the Price for 1 or for 2 license plate frames?

 

[Snow-Jet-MK5]

I'm in. 2 tabs on top with the words on the bottom:

Audentes Fortuna Juvat

 

[Bob J]

I'm in for 2 of these in Black..... One with tabs on the top and one with tabs on the bottom..... No etch at this time, but may change my mind before the GB ends.......

Edit: Please etch with "Veritas" (without quotes of course)

 

[headpaneer]

I am interested in a pair of frames. Is there a specific page on your site with all your finish options?

That is one frame. These are waterjet from 6061 plate, fully machined, and then anodized.

Then I'll take whatever you want, mock it up, and laser it into the finish for you.

I've found high quality plastic and sheet metal frames, but nothing like this and nothing billet which is why the FJ crowd requested I look into it.

I'm in. 2 tabs on top with the words on the bottom:

Audentes Fortuna Juvat

Thank you!

Sounds good! Thank you!

My old website had this, but it didn't make it to the new webstore.

I highly recommend:

Architectural Black
Clear (difficult to see etchings, but we are working on Thermark for black on clear)

The above 2 will never fade, and these will be outside so UV exposure is a factor.

Other choices are:

Blue
Red
Pewter
Yellow Gold

Absolutely. I have etched this on our interior handles as well.

Gotta love the laser! :lightsaber:

Is the Architectural Black a matte finish? I was actually close to getting some polished billet frames from a hot rod supplier, then getting them black chrome plated.

Thank you, How can payment be arranged, ?

 

[Peyto]

In for 1 black frame, no etching.

I can make it matte by glass beading pre-anodize, but typically it's just a shiny black.

This fairlead was done in architectural black:

Orders will be taken through Ellis Precision

I'll keep you posted.

Looks great. Please put me on the list for two plates in architectural black and no etching.

Thank you!

While I suspect you assumed this to be the case, I want just the two tabs on the top.

Thanks again!

 

[cmoekim]

This is just what I've been looking for..

I'll take one in black, please.

So Joel. I take it between the two forums, there was not enough response to make this happen?
