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

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
