Got my S6 plate frame today. I knew is was a gamble...I lost. (BWW)
POS sticker on a black frame...to boot, it looks like the guy is using his pre-school nephew to cut the stickers out, very poorly done. Too bad, because if the sitckers had been cut well, it would be an okay frame for $14.99 plus a mess of shipping. Perhaps if I'd re-read the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2414030284&category=67 55&rd=1" target="_blank">verbiage</a> a few times, I might have thought twice:
<i>Our quality is much better than the cheap quality frame selling on the market. .It will give your car that sporty look with a touch of class. We have good relationship with factory dealer. Here's your chance to get this great product with a lot less than paying up to $40 retail price.</i>
He's making a handsome profit on the shipping too (not disallowed, but kinda skanky, IMO).
To each his own, some people would be happy with it, I'm sure. However, I'm not sure that I can give even a neutral rating for this on his e-bay account...
Package:

Closeup (note wobbly cut edges) showing black metal plate frame, layer one sticker is brushed silver, layer two sticker is red:

Oh yeah; anybody want an S6 plate frame?

Wow!!! You are picky!!! ;) It's not that bad...it's a lot better than the plastic AW frame!!! ;)
Ooops sorry, you gave me that one for free! 
For stickers, I think they did a pretty good job of lining it up straight...but it should've been painted.
Cool! Someone out there is pickier than I!!!

The silver sticker looks metallic, the red...?
I know it might not be too visible from a few feet back, but I think it kinda sucks nonetheless. Just my hangup thing about doing it right or not doing it at all...particularly with something that you're selling to the public...I feel it's a bit mis-represented.
