Anyone know where I can get one? I want a REAL one, not a "look-a-like w/ the chassis code" as the numbers. Thanks.

Just found out the one from iloveracing.com isn't off on at least two accounts: the letters are BLACK as opposed to GREEN (real color) and there SHOULD NOT be a border... SO..... Can someone please help me find a REAL one? Thanks.

$50 is not bad for a real Japanese plate. They're really hard to find because the Japanese government requires them to be turned in when a registration is terminated. They don't like old plates floating around. So they're much more difficult to find than, say, British plates. There are a lot of fake Japanese ones floating around, so you should look out. Usually they use black ink instead of dark green like a real plate, and they use German dies, so if the font of the numbers look like those on a German plate, it's fake. So people should look out for those things. The picture just above looks real (but it's hard to see the colour), but some of the others in this thread look fake.
