...........do you want to help me pick it? I did have a Swing 'N Load plate but I am no longer selling them so I am looking for something cool and different, something that no one, or very few have! I want something that goes with the look of my Avalanche, lowered, purple pearl flames and some custom teak running boards and bed rack. I don't want a lot of colors or surfing sceans...... :rolleyes:

I will need pictures to be able to understand what I will decide on. Post away, I want to get something that I really like!


Here are a few of pictures of my Avalanche so you can see the theme, it is getting lowered another 2" SOON!!

I'd say get one made with teak, have a bow tie and or "Avalanche" engraved into it and have the recessed part done the same color as your flames.. ????
 
what about a standard Av or BT plate, then get it custom painted to match your flames/trick?

I like that idea... would be a one of a kind plate that would go with your other wood accents.
 
I just sent a email to my woodworking buddy, the one who made the running boards and rack and asked if there was some teak left. I know there was very little left over and he may have used it. I am thinking maybe a couple of plate frames, one for the front and one for the rear. Then use Flint's idea for the front plate..........
 
...................but keep those ideas coming, I may see one I like better. Feel free to post pictures if you see something that will fit my theme!

I like the teak frame idea, the small bowtie outline on stainless colored purple would be a subtle touch. If you use a stainless steel plate with a frame dirt and road salt can get in between and scratch the plate. Maybe use some type of tape seal on the back of the frame. It would protect the teak at same time.
 
I have the PERFECT plate and frame for you! >:D

:laugh:  Great plate, but you keep it..........It does not go with my theme.
 
I'd say slap some wood up there, maybe with AVALANCHE written across it...  Stick with the wood theme, its original and looks great!
 
just to stir the pot a bit, your WIFE bought you a plate in Ky.    :laugh:      hehehe

Teak frame with AVALANCHE cut out with a scroll saw would look sharp.
