I want to do something special for my MIL for the car. She considers the car art as well as a car and wants it to be a family heirloom and I wanted something on the car to commemorate it's uniqueness. There is quite a bit unique about it, being a custom commission, 2019 being the 60th anniversary of both Intermeccanica and the Porsche Convertible D model year and being one of the last few internal combustion engine cars. I believe it is perhaps third from the last based on serial number.
I had the idea of having a custom chassis plate made for the car and thought it would be cool to do it in the style of the plates used on the 356. Something like the attached images.
So silver text with black background and silver edge. What material should this be made of so that it won't rust? I was wondering if a trophy shop could do it or I should try one of those web service bureaus that does laser etching?
For location I was thinking either on the inner fender in the trunk or perhaps near the door hinge like the original Drauz bades? Other ideas or thoughts? I'm kind of leaning towards the door but bade will need to be quite small...
For text I was thinking (like the two piece bade and trying to emulate the fonts):
MADE IN
VANCOUVER CANADA
COMMISSIONED BY:
HER NAME &
HIS NAME
HAND ASSEMBLED BY:
NAMES OF EMPLOYEES
Thoughts? Any other subtle and period style ways to customize and personalize the car?

PS - What car cover do people recommend for an IM?
