New Custom plates

So I have been waiting 3 months for these to get here and they finally arrived yesterday. If you don't know the RE stands for Rotary Engine.
I was going to do 6PI 13B RE, but I wanted to keep it simple. They will look better with a good paint job wich I have been puting off way to long now. I plan on going with a nice deep blue. Comments welcome..

Oh, not that... I was referring to the "13B-REW" engine. I've been too lazy to figure that one out.

The W is for double turbo, or twin turbo. Or so I've heard.

Well, that's obvious... I often see a W and think, "ahh, twin turbo"

Ya I thought of that. I wish i had that motor, but I wouldn't put it in my GSL-SE. It would be much better suited in the TII
