Just wondering what sort of license plate frames everyone uses. Don't want to keep the ugly ones that the dealership provides! 
My friend bought a personalized one off ebay, but it didnt really fit that well...

I turned the dealer's frame (black) over, set the lic. plate in and reattached it. Gotta nice thin black line around my plate. Good price, too! No front plate but I do keep the new car tag on the lower right windshield so I any black&whites see me, they think it's a new car.

Yeah, i'd like to know which ones actually FIT the car with all FOUR screws. I'm in Florida, and I can only put the top two screws in. The bottom two don't line up with the black frame that came stock on the car. It's a flapper license plate!
My dealer put his frame on it one time after service. It also would only fit the license plate and frame with the top two holes only. I threw it away as soon as I got home ("We put a frame around your license, it looks a little classier that way"...."Geez, thanks a lot!").

My dealer normally uses a frame with his name on it on the back. I told them I don't want that and they gave me a nice thin black frame for the rear. The front doesn't have a frame due to the fact that it is too round.

Hmm.. thats true - wish i didnt have to put a plate on the front since the front is sort of roundish. oh well
