Love the part on the product page that says "Professional installation may be required at an additional charge."

Wonder if anyone has ever brought their car into the dealer for license plate modding? :)

With a heavy coat of Rustoleum clear lacquer - the plate frame comes in a really cheap looking matte material. The gloss finish I gave it makes it look a ton nicer...

My frame reads "COWBOYS BUTTS DRIVE ME NUTS"

No frame. Just plate on paint. two shiny 10mm bolts.. though I often accuse the bolts of being homosexuals.

I run with a simple black painted metal frame, no lettering. If I didn't have this one, the black "Truth in Engineering" one above looks pretty nice too.

Whatever dealer plate is on the car when I get them, I turn it around and so that the license plate just has a thin black frame around it. Looks clean and finished. That's on the back at least. For my front I have one of the retractable plates so I can just display the plate when I'm parked etc

I use Ital frames on all my cars, i had one painted on grey for the S60R
so i slapped in on the Audi:

Rubber grips the plate vibration free, and more importantly none of the
visible screwheads that plague others. I never lost a cap since i started
putting a few drops of silicone inside:

Manual Show n Go from Altec. $39 with free shipping I think. Cheap insurance when I'm driving on the Palisades Pkwy. Enforcement is tough on there
