License plate frame
I've seen few different license plate frames, and I was wondering if anyone bought one off ebay or amazon.
I really like the OEM slim line ones, I am not a fan of the frames with large brand on bottom, plus it's illegal to cover state name, custom plates must show the state name on bottom (to ensure they are not TLC plates in NYS).

I think $35 is reasonable if it's as good as it looks on the pictures.
I gave up on trying to run without front plates, so I'll need to get two of these.

Thanks BigKutta, when you said you got a bumper plate frame, I immediately thought of this, which I find to be an overkill.

The one you found looks good enough to pass as normal plate frame, I'll definitely look into that for front.
I think what you got is best since it not only protects the front bumper (partially) but also protects the plate too. I hated how bent my old plate got over years.

I have a black OEM one and it looks nice. The quality is worth it for the $35. Also, I figured the frame will last a very long time so why not spend the $35 for a nice one, right?

BK,
I got the bumpframe from Weather Tech, looks nice, but I can't believe it didn't come any with mounting hardware at all. I saw your message in the other thread, I thought it was just two instead of 4 so you had to use your own in order to match them.
Ugh, I will spray paint the existing screws black, and use those instead.
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the suggestion on front plate frame. There is some protection, without looking crazy.

I ordered two CNC aluminum ones from Fast Friends Garage. They arrived yesterday and I've not installed them but quality is very nice.
