Looking for good quality license plate frame

Got_Z · 05-01-2014, 01:17 AM

I bought a matte black metal frame from Amazon for about 7-8 bucks. I can't justify spending more than that on a frame for some reason... It's been a few months and it's just as clean as when I bought it. Didn't want any letters or writing on it because I feel like it's "too much"

You could always make one,

Items you will need.
Bubble gum, band aids, popsicle sticks, any color spray paint of your choice.

Use bubble gum to hold sticks togather, place band aids over sections where sticks meet. after your done paint.

Don't remember where I got it, but I have the black one with a single Z centered on the bottom.

What *I* don't get are the people who use the dealer frames that advertise the dealer name on them. Ick!

Yeah really! I'd have to be paid advertising.... you think they'd let you put a sign in their store? Not!
I also take those damn dealer decals off my cars immediately.

Not to go totally OT, but I sell plate frames - and A LOT of people leave them on their cars.

My favorites are the ones from like JD Byryder & other bad credit used lots. When I see someone with one of those on their car it's like they're saying " My credit sucks!"

That's exactly what I did. And the same thought process.

+1

I told my OCD wife that I wished the dealer hadn't bothered to put that decal on my car. Ten minutes later it was off

I had such bad service that I blurted out "I'm taking those frames off the second I get home" when I was doing a walk around with the salesman. He asked me why and I just laughed it off.

IME, she's a limited edition and quite hard to find--especially in later models. The purchase price was very reasonable, but maintenance costs can be quite high. With proper care, the performance can sometimes be surprising.

Mine has some nice, high performance 305/35s in the rear. Mind you, they get slippery when wet.

Bought some from the Z store, hope they're nice.

Bought the black NISMO plate for my Z back in 2009 and it still looks perfect

Matches the silver/black theme of my car

kenchan · 05-06-2014, 07:27 PM

yah, with a busy plate like that, the frame does not pop out as much.

Good point, plus since the frame doesn't cover the whole plate it allowed for the artist's name to be shown through in the corner
