Default license plate frame question

for all of you that have rear license plate frames, did you need to cut away part of the black backing in back of the plate? I just got a "Quattro" plate from Clair and it's too "short" to fit on the car. thanks... josh

Default No problem. I've had some trouble with the search function -

I even typed in the exact heading of the thread, with no results. But luckily I had that article printed out, so I knew where to scroll back & find it (on page 89!).
