Show Me Your License Plate Frame!

Hello all,

I'm the proud new owner of an '06 TSX 6MT (pics coming soon) and, for the first time in my life, liked the look of the chrome license plate frame that was around my temporary tag from the dealer (but I don't want to advertise for any dealer). I was thinking of getting either a thin-edged frame with no wording on it or maybe a thin-edge frame that says "Acura" along the bottom (in a notched format).

I like either the style of the gold "Acura" one in this photo (but NOT gold):


or the all-thin frame in this photo:


Show me yours!

Another opportunity for me to whore mine. To stay on topic, I'd stay away from the gold one unless you have a gold package. On my old car, I had a simple chrome on but it wasn't flat like those pictures. I loved it. Simple and classy.

All three look good... I like jlukja's the best I think. But then again evo_to_tsx has a good point and that's how I've always had it in the past. HMMMM... anyone else?

I have a set of black Perimeter style plates, and they're very subtle.

The entire plate is visible on top of the frame, so it's close to a frameless look.

I think it's a classy look (borrowed from Porsche, I think), and they cost next to nothing. If you're going for thin-edged look, I think these are the way to go.

Wow, that's pretty cool, and only $6! Thanks for the link.
