Hey I know this is a stretch for whether or not it is valid in the 04 Forum, but I thought I would give it ago since, 04 is the only year that has the brushed aluminum acents on outside of the car.


I was browsing around and found this brushed billet aluminum plate frames, but I dont think it will match it as well since it looks a little more reflective and its not a fine brushed alluminum kindve like what we have. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=11569

Have any of you seen or have a frame that matches the oem brushed aluminum?

thanks for all the help

EDIT:
Well I did do a search on ebay, and they all look cheap and flimsy to me. I also did a search and didnt find anything, although I could have skipped over a link.

 

Here is my first post (I hope I don't screw it up)

This a high quality brushed stainless steel license frame, however it is not an exact match with the brushed trim on the TL. It comes with screw covers that are kindy cheapy and they did not fit over the screws. If anyone knows where I can find some nice stainless screws, please let me know. Thanks.

Here is a pic of it on my TL:



Let me know if you like or dislike it. Thanks.

 

Home Depot stocks all kinds of stainless steel screws.

 

looks nice man, although im not really much into the thicker bottom, but it does look like it matches up with the trim pretty well.

 

i have this kind, quality is not bad. price is cheap on ebay. two cost me 20 includes shipping.

Here is the same high quality brushed frame with a thin bottom:

I liked the look of the stainless steel ones I got from AutoSport in Virginia. They have some really nice ones with quality hardware and screw covers for that finished look. I went with black up front, and brushed stainless in back. Both have a Lexan protector as well.

 

Anymore pics?

 

I noticed the ebay ones with the thick bottom cover the valadation stickers for many states (including GA). The two others mentioned above look like good options!

 

i think if you bought 3 or 4 differnet types of sandpaper you could get the finer brushed finish you are looking for

 

thanks for showing me what all you use I still have my dealer's fabulous chromed plastic. I will look around ebay once more and then make my descision.

thanks for all the help!
