Default Do you have ZNESS ENVY?

To compliment my "MY ZNESS" license plate, my fiance presented me with this custom plate frame:

Now, if only I had a car to put it on... Sigh... November will come soon enough, right???
Cheers,
Mika
BTW - how on earth can I include pics in a post??? Doesn't seem to work for me.

An excellent idea AudioPat. But where do you go for those frames come to think about it? Hope we're not invading mwallers territory though. What do you say mwaller? Is it OK? Oh shoot it's too good, I have to get one, er, two!! Who else wants some??

I'm flattered you guys like it. I sure got a kick out of it. This one was ordered from www.gunthergifts.com. It's their "Best in Hard Chrome" frame, and it's pretty pricey (about $50). It's a nice, heavy weight frame; weighs nearly 1 lb, I think. The polish on the outer surface is very nice, and the engraving is very deep and clean. The surface does have slight waviness in some places (around mounting holes), so if that bothers you, I'd look elsewhere. Also, since it's chrome plated brass, the finish on the back side is a bit rough (raw casting finish). In my search for a place to make this, I found several online stores. Many would do it for about half the price, but on lighter weight frames. There's one place that will laser engrave (actually 'laser blacken' might be a better term...) on a stainless steel frame. But again, it's a lighter weight frame with more rounded edges (stamped look, rather than cast). That's not to say it would be any weaker; in fact, it would probably hold up better. Brass is not the strongest. But heck, I'm sure happy with the way mine turned out.
If I can be of more assistance, please let me know.
Regards,
Mika

The term your looking for is Laser Verification.
I work with a company that does this type of work.

By the way my web site is www.namebricks.com
I can make some Z bricks for people if they like.

Thanks Craig

Very cool.
