I'm not a fan of carbon fiber myself. I think it just looks dirty in sunlight.

I liked #2 the most out of the ones you posted.

So just plain without CF inserts? But still have the bar across it?

If it was black instead of CF I think it might look nice. Would have to see it though.

I wonder how many people de-badge the car, then add a plate frame with the car name?

None of the above. Is your car de-badged? If not, is it really necessary to proclaim what you're driving on your license plate frame?

Thanks for the updates.

Treblig's comment is a good one.

Personally, I think the carbon fiber on silver background does not have enough contrast, so none of them from my viewpoint from a graphical sense, not that I am an expert, but if you are going to get one, get the Legend one so you can at least strike a different tone, and maybe a few gas station conversations as someone else noted in a different message.

I think the two tone kills it for me, now if the carbon pad was solid and the RL chrome might work.

I think that looks much better, and the same would hold true with the "legend"
