Hi All -

My name is Tom Floyd and I wanted to introduce my company, Fast Friends Garage. Our 1st product is an elegant, high quality, CNC Machined Aluminum License Plate Frame.

As an enthusiast, I have always been frustrated when searching for a plate frame to accent my cars. There are plenty of cheap plastic, pot metal and stamped sheet metal frames out there but nothing that matches the quality of our cars. Even the Carbon Fiber frames I have found are just overlays over ABS plastic not to mention very expensive.

Its a small detail but one that I feel has been massively overlooked. So I decided to make my own.

Our Plate Frames are made from aerospace quality 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy which is CNC Machined on both the front and the back to create a frame that truly finishes your license plate. I designed it with a narrow 10mm wide perimeter profile so you have access to your DMV tags without taking everything apart. I incorporated beautiful chamfers into all interior and exterior edges for a finished look, and machined out the rear of the frame so it fits perfectly over your license plate. And lastly, the mounting holes are recessed so the screw heads sit nicely into the frame.

Both our silver and black frames are anodized to prevent the alloy from oxidation and will keep the frames looking perfect for years.

We are offering a 10% discount to Rennlist members with the code "RENNLIST" at checkout.

We have a few other cool products in the works that I hope to bring to market after the first of the year in addition to carrying a curated selection of American and German made tools and equipment to outfit your garage.

Thank You for taking the time to check us out at http://www.ffgarage.com






Cheers,

Tom Floyd
Owner
Fast Friends Garage

You’re kidding right?

Go take a pee before you drive and you’ll take care of the difference between the heaviest and lightest plate frame ever made!

Well is that a long pee, or a short one SJJ28?

Been looking for a good frame as well. Just ordered a silver along with the stainless screw kit.

Thanks for the Rennlist discount and great product. Made in Oregon

Thank you, Sir! That's less than half the weight of the usual steel plates. Thanks for a great product and for being a sponsor here on Rennlist. I look forward to seeing more of your products down the road.

Are other color options available too? (In particular, I would be interested in white.)

We only do Silver and Black. Aluminum can be anodized lots of colors but not white. White would have to be paint or powder coated.

FF Garage, nice looking product. I hope you sell many of them.

What's a good way to keep the frame and plate from abrading the paint, behind the plate, on the rear bumper?

Thank you.
