View Full Version : Do you use a license plate border? If so which one?
I still have my Audi of Coral Springs License plate border on the car and I have been thinking of removing it or changing it. What do you all use?

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? :)

Just use a plain black, front and back, I bought from Pep Boys.
Hmmm I could do a alumni one.. Didnt even think about that. I had a sticker in my window on my last car which was the one I had when I was in college lol. Im going to see if they sell them online.
I was going to go with a University one but they dont have an alumni one on their website. I was also thinking about putting a NY Knicks one because im a huge fan but I live in FL now. Stupid?

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...

University of Arizona Alumni frame. Not many U of A folks in this part of the country.
I didnt pay 120 for my plate frame lol paid much less since I have a buddy in the service department. And in some places that frame goes for $175+ lol
If you think its a nice look on a black S4 Ill paypal you $30 lol.
Message me your email for paypal.

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
^^^Which retractable plate mechanism are you using?
I took my Audi of Coral Springs off yesterday. Prob just going to get a brushed alum one.

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

Is it a plain cf one or does it have writing on it?
