I'd also go with the first one.

I personally used this one (click):


For all the money people put into cars, I never understood why 99% of people stick with the ugly dealer license plate holders on their cars. That was the first 'mod' I did when I got it home.

I say the first one. The second one looks a bit "Trekkie".

Neither. It's redundant to put an "Acura" plate frame on the back of a car badged as an Acura. I'd ditch the dealer plate frame and get a nice plain chrome or black one.

Same...mine is a black metal frame. It looks great with my SSM and Ebony interior. I don't feel the need to advertise that I'm driving an "Acura" or "TSX" on the license plate frame when both of those are advertised just feet away on the trunk. Just my

I just picked up a pair of these - I personally like the thin, chrome plate frame without any logo - http://www.autoattire.com/licplatframp.html

I agree. And I don't want to advertise for a company if they won't pay me for it.

I was going to put a USC one on, but it always fades. I just went ahead and put on a police one (dad works for them, but I haven't used any police stuff until now).

My vote is for a simple chrome plate, or some sort of plate that represents who you are (school, work, etc)

I'd love to buy the first one for my car. Anyone wanna tell me where I could get one?


I'd prefer brick & mortar first, but i'll buy it off a website if I have to.

I replaced my dealer plate with a slim plain chrome frame.

How do you get hold of a ACURAzine plate cover like that. I like it.

^^I think it's a "TSX" chrome frame that he affixed an AZ sticker to, after he took the "TSX" part off. Some guys have had those decals made.

1st one is better. I, too, really need a frame. Still have the lame dealer frame on mine, but plan on debading and putting a "TSX" frame on.

Thank you I already bought the first one at an Acura dealer. The second one was at Pep Boys along with this:



I'm thinking of buying that to put in the front of my car.

I saw a person with a TSX who had this in the front of his car when I had my car in for service. It looked pimp

I have a plain chrome frame with 4 chrome screw covers (the bottom two were faked, as there are no screws back there!). It also came with a lightly smoked frame cover. Was cheap, easy, clean.

I dunno, maybe it is just me, but why would you want to look "PIMP"? Is that something to be proud of? I see a lot of vehicles that are "PIMPED" and to me it looks down right stupid, specially the big SUV's with 20's or 22's and low profile tires.
