I was looking at my car license plate yesterday and I think I need some contrast for it. Do you think it looks better with or without a frame on the back plate? What do you guys think would look best on a white frame against alpine white. Think carbon fiber would be a nice contrast? I'm undecided.
Oh yeah, I also debadged my car after months of debate. Looks really good, glad I did it.

I think it depends on the color of your car and the color of your states license plate. If I had AW and lived in CA, I would do no frame.

I have the Carbon Fiber Frame and get compliments on it all the time. But then again, it goes with the theme of my car and takes away from the blue borders of the NYS License Plate.
