And I didn't read this thread but I did go to the store. I would love to rock an az shirt or something. But I have to say, I'm not impressed with the logo!
I think we have enough talent here to improve on it...

Innacurate, if you want a sticker I'll give you one the next time I go to Houston or you can give me a pre-stamped envelope in the mail so I can send it to you.

If the whole plate was chrome and just said acurazine and had blank chrome like my black plate does than it would make more sense and look better

Still not 100% a fan of the plate as-is now, but I MacGyver'ed it onto the TL in Photoshop and this gives me an idea of what it would look like... The white is OK, but I'm thinking that I could Plasti-Dip the metal edge to make it look a bit better. I don't think that metal finish looks good, and I really want to be able to have either UA6/UA7/AZ Username at the top!

Guys, please be aware that the previews they give us are photoshopped (pretty badly I must say!)
The only way to find out how things are placed and what is looks like it for someone to order it and have a hot girl (important!) wear it and post pics.
Or for the license plate frame, which is badly photoshopped too, we'll just wait until someone receives the actual product.
All Internet Brands did was sent the site the logo, and had them (poorly) make a preview for us in photoshop.

one of the other issues with the license plate frame...the steel/chrome frame will corrode if you live anywhere in a state that gets snow and road salt. you'd be lucky to have it survive a winter before it begins to corrode and look really bad. you can try and protect them with some sort of sealant or clear finger nail polish....but they still corrode.
better quality chrome plated frames are able to withstand the elements. i have a custom frame on my TL for that i had made for my alumni (it is etched into the chrome with the letters filled with paint)....it has managed to keep looking good after 6+ yrs. of course i paid a premium for this frame, but it has lived through snowmageddon that was here in my area a couple of yrs ago.
plastic cheapie frames will withstand the element (b/c it's plastic, duh!). personally, plastic frames...look cheap. certainly the one that is for sale, can be designed a bit better with the AZ logo on it without making it look cheap.

I got my license plate frame. Honestly I think it's pretty lame and pretty cheap.
It basically looks like they bought a million chrome frames and placed the Acurazine sticker on the bottom of it. I'm pretty disappointed.
I'll be installing it and will post pics tomorrow. I may not even keep it on my car for long, unless I can get a better decal made, which I just might be able to do since I had some made for my rear quarter windows.

I'm surprised nobody else has received the license plate frame yet.
I just mounted it a few minutes ago and I don't think it will be staying on there very long.
-I don't like the blank white top portion. They should have included SOMETHING.
-I don't like how it covers up the state (VIRGINIA)
-I also don't like how it has that checkered portion on the bottom corners...?
-I saw a GTO today with the same exact plate frame except it had some rust and it said "LOVE MY GTO-THE ORIGINAL MUSCLE CAR" on the bottom where mine says ACURAZINE....it was also just a vinyl sticker.
Lastly, I don't think i like the chrome color. Brushed silver or black would be preferable
But then again...its only a license plate frame. I would've liked to see some orange in it or something like the ACURAZINE logo looks on the top left of the page.
I had these decals custom made:
Here are the pics as promised.

A lame plate. It should be carbon fiber plate trim and ORANGE ACURAZINE logo. That would look sick....I would pay extra for that obviously. Quanaman those custom stickers look great!
wonder if I can get a refund....
