JDM Plates... yay or nay?

i took the plate holder of the front of the car when i got it and just painted the screws yellow and put them back in. i was planning on repainting the whole bumper but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. anyhow i was thinking about maybe getting one of these and putting it on for the time being so its not just those ugly screws

will it look ok? and what color should i get it in? yellow w/ black text, black w/ white text, or white w/ black text

I got my HIPSI plate from there....(the 2nd link) Mine will say JDM-P5 or J-SPEC or I may go w/ a random set for that really authentic look.

I personally think it looks sharp...especially if you change the badges out and all that good stuff. The wow factor is there. Every bit helps I suppose.

Are those plastic or are they metal? i like those...but can you customize them? I don't see where you can request stuff put in there.

i guess it's just me but putting japanese stickers or badging on an american car and trying to pass it off as something it's not is kinda bad.... think every kid with a honda and a "type R" sticker....those were only in japan and europe...why pose?

maybe i'll badge my car with a complete "honda civic" set, that would screw with people's minds.

"Yah, i roll in a civic, it's got a mad, tight Mazda conversion, yo!"
