USDM is as big there as JDM is here so like how guys have euro and japanese plates on their cars here, they want US plates there. mostly Cali and Hawaii plates
even plate frames... even tho the plates there are bigger, they still put the smaller US plate frames on their cars!!!

here's an example of the bigger plate with the smaller plate frame on:


my buddy tetsuya cut his plate to fit in this plate frame (suto customs is run out of hawaii):
