They are easy enough to make if you have the time(20-30 minutes). Get a piece of 18ga. steel a little larger than your plate and about 3-4 feet of 1 1/2" 18 ga strap. Take your tag, trace it onto the steel including your mounting holes leaving about 1/4-3/8" all the way around the tag. Use a plasma cutter, bandsaw, jigsaw, air nibbler or airshears or small anglegrinder(4 1/2") with a cut off disk and cut out the shape. Drill out your holes for tagscrew inserts. Fire up your mig and start tacking the strap around the edges wrapping it around the corners. Once welded, it makes a nice tag box with radiused corners instead of just a plain square box. You can integrate either an OEM type flush mount tag light into the box or use a lighted billet tag frame.
