I cant find the rampage cover online...Have a pic by chance?

We ran the free UFO's promotion when we first introduced the Element Plates. The Element Plate is currently one of our best selling products. We won't be doing that promo anytime in the near future. Thanks for the interest though.

Just go to a hobby shop first and pick out some vinyl that you like. Put some colored vinyl down first so it shows though. Red/Yellow/Chrome or something would look really good.

This is my favorite one. I can't stand the thought of riveting a plate to my tail gate.

I just need to find some plugs for the holes and time to relocate the spare to the inside.

I like the tramp stamp. I may have to go that route.

One a separate note where are u guys all getting the ass plugs to fill in the factory holes for the brakelight and tire standoffs. I checked home depot and rona but had no luck.

they could've found you a plug (like the ones they used for the spare tire stops)
for your 3rd brake lite wire. i'd be pissed if they did that to mine, after all , all it does is unplug.

i got mine for free from a forum member, all i had to do was send him shipping money. he had a post up that said he had a ton of those plugs to just pm him if you wanted them.
