License Plate Frame Recmdtns

**CEE DOG** · 03-19-2010, 11:45 AM

Hey guys, I've been looking for the right license plate frame and haven't been able to find it. Please post your thoughts/recomendations? I'm looking for a chrome frame.

Has anyone tried the weathertech or the altec?

I wouldn't waste to much money on a chrome one unless you know who did the chroming.Most are done overseas and within a couple of months they rust.I actaully ended up going to a local Napa store and finding a nice black one nothing to fancy so if it gets ugly can trash it and you know living in florida in the heat and sun all day nothing last too long.You may have better luck finding one in red to match your car.

I bought a really cool stainless steel frame once years ago. It had a tinted glass protective plate, theft proof bolts, very slick! (Might have gotten it from Griot's catalog?)

One day, I'm rolling down the Interstate behind some Goober who tosses his apple core out the window. The Granny Smith WMD does a perfect bank shot off the highway and hits my yuppie license frame, smashing the glass. I couldn't understand why Goob had a silly grin on his face until I stopped for gas.

I don't know which material to get, but if it says "Tampa Bay Buccaneers" on it, it will look awesome!!!

They have really cool carbon fiber frames now too

Thanks Adam, from what I read the chrome over brass can be made to not rust. I should probably go the route you're saying but I think I found the right one that says SKY on it. Hard to find a quality frame that says SKY what with how few Sky's were made!

You got that right!

Do you prefer to have the frame match the paint rather then the bits of trim?
I don't know yet myself. I was thinking with the chrome pieces I have that the chrome frame would fit.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look at Griots as well.

I saw those. I'd love to see them in person. Picture was hard to make out.

Take a look at this one and let me know what you guys think.

I think the chrome and red on that frame will look great with chrome and red of your car...it looks like a good accent piece.

Wouldn't that qualify it as a handicap sticker?

I found a nice one for my RX350 on eBay. If the Florida heat and rain take a toll, I haven't spent too much.
