    I assume that since you already have JorgePinto's mod you've taken that apart to see how it works. Where are you getting stuck?

    Well in that case... let me direct your eyes over here: http://wiki.beamng.com/License_plate_tutorial

    Steps:
    1. Follow the tutorial I linked above so that you learn how to make the normal license plates used by BeamNG.
    2. Learn enough jbeam to determine the mesh used for the normal plates as well as the plates used by JorgePinto. The section which you'll be looking for is "flexbodies" - you really don't need to know much.
    3. Use Blender to examine the dae files and look at those meshes and/or create your own meshes and assign materials to them for the plates.
    4. Cross apply that knowledge with the knowledge from over here if necessary - http://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_Vehicle_Creation#Modeling_and_Texturing
    If JorgePinto's shape is the exact one that you want you could simply do Step 1 and then ask JorgePinto if you can use the mesh/etc from his mod to avoid 3/4.
