Do you have Honda Saber badges?

To have that plate, you should be wearing some JDM

If there was such a thing, I could see myself actually liking sushi.

Just for your personal information.

Those plates are from the Hyōgo Prefecture and the city of Kobe.

The only problem, from an authentic point of view, is that the plates are for a Class 400 car, which I believe is a 4000cc displacement car.

Seriously though... I'd say no. I'm not sure I see the point, and they'd probably look a little :ghey:

Sweet probably the only one in Delaware with a Japanese license. Not as bad as the French license plate I saw on an American van.

meh. Maybe use for photoshoot or something. I personally won't have it on for daily. I hope you got some JDM parts to match that up because it will look retarded having just the license plate.

The only problem, from an authentic point of view, is that the plates are for a Class 400 car, which I believe is a 4000cc displacement car.
And looking at the plate, the prefecture seal was on the top left hole (noting the larger dirt ring around it), so this was on the rear of the car. Fronts are held with 2 screws.

Yes, the 400 series are for 3500cc displacement and up. 300 series is for 2000cc to 3499cc, while a 500 series covers engines above 660cc all the way up to 1999cc. This is why the Japanese motors, when they are a 2.0L for example, are actually 1.997L. For road tax purposes. The title will have the true cc displacement, not a rounded liter figure.

I'm a little sketchy on the 400 plate, but I know the rest because my taxes are due this month. $170 for the Saber, and the Odyssey.

Yess^^ That's what the car should look like before the JDM plate goes on.

Unless it says "USDMFTL"
