Default Hawaiian word help?

Hey there I am looking to be creative with my ca license plate on my new Jeep Rubi. I have always loved the Hawaiian atmosphere and thinking this might be the way to go. Besides most good Jeep plates are taken in ca already.

I tried Irie or "relax all is good" but this too was taken. Is there a phrase like this on the Islands?

This is what I have currently:
all good ~ apau maikai

maybe something like, rock toy ~ 'a mea pa'ani

And of course I need to squeeze this down into 7 letter and or numbers. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Michael

Thanks for the replys Duane and aek.

I still like - all good ~ apau maikai or rock toy ~ 'a mea pa'ani best. Are these words correct for the hawaiian language? Whats the pronunciation of the words to turn them into the 7 letter plates with the same sound?

Maybe apau ono for all good?
