The Idea

Most frames are stamped by the thousand. This one is sculpted, finished by hand, and made for one car.

The Making

Four steps. One pair of hands.

01

Sculpted

Modeled thorn by thorn in digital clay, then refined against the plate's true mounting points.

02

Formed

Made to order in a rigid, lightweight polymer. It will never rust. No stamping, no folded plate steel.

03

Finished

Smoothed and chromed by hand, one frame at a time, so every ridge catches the light.

04

Fitted

Checked against a real plate and the standard seven inch mounting holes before it ships to you.

Made for the road, not the shelf.
