E90Post License Plate Frames. Any interest?

I sent a few PM's to a few different mods and never really herd back from anyone about weather or not I can use the e90post logo so I figured I'd make a thread about it to see if there is any interest in e90post frames.

A friend of mine over on R3vlimted.com (e30 forum) is making custom license plate frames for the guys on the forum, I have helped him quite a lot with the production process of the plate frames and we have recently tossed around the idea of making e90post ones and selling them on here. Just wondering If I could get permission to use the e90post logo and sell these on the forum. Below are a few examples of what we have done.

The process consists of us buying bare aluminum plate frames and then powder coating them flat black, after the coating is done we have access to a laser engraver which essentially burns through the powder coating leaving the logo in raw aluminum on the frames.








These would sell in the $20-$30 range and could be in production within a week or so if there is enough interest.
Anyone interested?

The frames are PC'd flat black and then after the laser etching the "writing" is not shiny, more of just a raw look

unfortunately no, the logo is only what material the powder is applied over, this being bare aluminum.

Try PMing Jason. He's the most active admin, as far as I can tell.

I've pm'd him twice over the last month and he never responds, as is the case with most of the mods on here which has me a bit confused.

^^^ PM me with the design and info and I'll see what I an do.

At this point I want to offer these at $25 shipped in the US.

I need to talk with my man about getting a sample/example one made so you guys can get an idea what it would look like.

If you guys want to start a list of who wants one feel free to.

Also I know some states have registration stickers on the bottom and some states have them on the top. We will be offering 2 versions to fit the needs of your states plates.
