    License plate covers

    Few things make a well detailed car look shabby than those cheap dealer license plate covers. I have had good luck with Griots, but at $40.00 + $15.00 shipping, I may just want to see if there are any good recommendations before I go the Griot`s route.

    Re: License plate covers

    I just get license plate frames/covers from Amazon. Never had any problems with tarnish/corrosion. I`ve never paid $40 for a frame/cover
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    Re: License plate covers

    I buy the rubber frames that wrap around the edge and cover the back, mainly to stop the plate from flapping in the wind and making noise. On my wife’s van, there was a noise that I couldn’t figure out until I tightened the license plate screws and figured out it had been flapping in he wind. Now all of my cars have the rubber license plates covers on them.

    I put a Rightcar Solutions Flawless Silicon License Plate Frame on my most recent car. $15 on Amazon. No complaints so far.

    I use the same Rightcar Solutions Silicone License Plate Frame as PoisonTheWell. I have 3 of them now (2 black and 1 white) and like them for keeping the plate quiet. I went to the local home improvement store and picked up a pair of M6x1.0x16mm stainless steel screws to attach them to the car (Acura’s and Toyota’s).

    You may want to check out the 67 Corvette frames, at Corvette Central (online). Very simply, understated, stainless steel. No bolt holes...just neat, 3/4" frame. About $28, for the pair, if I remember correctly.

    I second this post..I always have these on hand from amazon 12.99 or so for a pair. The price of one from the pair is actually factored into every paint correction/ coating package. On delivery I show them the plate cover and tell them it was part of the package price and educate them on why they need this vs a metal plate rubbing on their paint.

    Definitely recommend this, as the back plate on my Audi is rusted in.
