What are you guys using for a license plate frame, if anything?
Currently, I'm not using one at all on the rear (no plate on the front) and I think it looks ok... anyone else?
Other options I've considered are:
- Body color from Bimmian
- Carbon Fiber
- Plain black stainless steel
What are your thoughts?

AW e60, no plate on the front...just the plate no frame on the back 
I didn't like the frame my dealer gave me, had a bit of chrome on it....
To me it looks clean without the frame, just the plate...
I think depending on your e60 color plate frames look good. Like CF on a dark colored e60....

I got the OEM black BMW plate frames for front and back. But I took front plate off since the M-tech conversion.
Like other said, its up to your taste.

It's only a $10 fixing ticket bud. If you get pulled over, just tell the cop to cut to the chase and give you the stupid ticket.
