I have the plain chrom finish license plate covers on both the back and the front. It works for me OK, but I am not complety sattisfied with the results. What have others done? Do you have any suggestions? Would love to see some pics (and where you purchased them). For me, the satin chrome does not flow well with the rest of the car - Thanks

Well, I'm Silver Gray, and IMHO I prefer a black license plate frame to a chrome one. (Then again I'm also the poser who likes to mess with people's minds by altering the middle number of my E60 type...)

No frame... just a lightly smoked lexan cover with Balck screws.
Kind of just blends in.
Kind of just blends in.
ever since then, i bought a simple silver/chrome colored plate holder, which matches with the chrome window trim. member gorovers has the black plate, but it matches with his shadowline trim since he has sport. just my opinion.

Is this frame thing a US feature. Because in the EU we just have plates screwed straight into the Lid or bumper.
