Just wondering what sort of license plate frames everyone uses. Don't want to keep the ugly ones that the dealership provides! :P

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.

hartge license plate frames

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

Absolutely no frame-- clean and simple.
No front bracket, and no front plate in my state. I made sure they didn't install one on the car.

I agree 100% with Sue. No frame in rear, no plate or bracket in front!

Since I reversed the dealer frame, I just drilled out the frame holes so they would allow the screws to go in.

Plain black slim frame. Very clean, covers the edges of the plate and blends in with my black car.
