Go with the body color if you do not have CF on the rest of the car. If you do have CF, I would go with a CF plate frame to match the accent. We offer both for your car so let me know if you need any help

Remember no frame (and it depends on the type) means no barrier between your rusted licence plate and your cars' finish!

Framed ... I didn't do it I WAS FRAMED 
Ok, got that out of my system!
I've used a thin, flat, black metal frame on my plates and covered the screws with black plastic caps.
