Lude Generation

as title, could someone measure the actual size of the rear number plate in a 5th gen jdm for me please.

13x6.5" (330x165mm) is standard JDM size Sam, but you can always have slight variants on the overall dimensions depending on the reg.

(awaits edit for accuracy).

I have 330x165mm front and back.

13x6.5" is the correct size.

That's why I said what I said Sam. If you just order a JDM plate, you're going to get a 13x6.5" plate, as I imagine Nitin (or the previous owner) did. There's obviously no specific JDM Prelude size. But you can get technical and using these rules...

• Character height 64mm
  Character width (except the figure 1 or letter I) 44mm
  Character stroke 10 mm
  Space between characters 10mm
  Space between groups 30mm
  Top, bottom and side margins (minimum) 11mm
  Vertical space between groups 13mm

... make a smallest possible legal sized import plate. You basically can't get any shorter legally, but you can reduce the width depending on whether you have 7 or 6 digits, or any "1"s or "I"s. But otherwise 95% of JDM Prelude owners will have 13x6.5".

I ordered mine slightly wider to fill more of the gap on the number plate recess

I ordered mine smaller to save weight
