    So, this is about license plate frames. Personally, I like the solid ones that look like a picture frame. Mine happen to be chrome, painted is fine and even solid plastic is good when it matches the car. What I think looks really tacky are the frames the dealer puts on the car. It`s free advertising for the dealer. I mean, you see a nice car on the road, it`s five years old and it`s still got those dealer frames on the plates. I think they are only one step above bumper stickers, at least they don`t damage the paint (most of the time).



    Then there are the frames with a message or joke. Like, "I saw the Grand Canyon" or "My other car`s a Porsche". Tacky, tacky, tacky.



    Putting a decent frame on the plates has to be one of the cheapest, easiest upgrades to a car. The license plates are actually a strong focal point of the car.

    Gotta love em. Now if we only had the windshield banners...



    I`m with ya about having professional looking ones. I hate those plastic dealership plate frames. Those are major cheesy. I have a chrome one with `Acura` written in sort of a script on it. It was on the car when I bought it. It got a little rusty so I used some ScratchX and AIO on it and shined it right back up again. I`ve got the Autopia plate frame on the Accord now and the Acura one back on the teg. Love those plate frames.



    I Klasse my plates too, by the way. lol Obsessed...? I think not. Just detailed.
