License Frame Suggestions

I want to get rid of the ad around my license plate for the dealer that sold me my TL. The only decent frames I've seen were at Handa.com for $26.00. Can anyone recommend other TL specfici frames?

Has anyone seen gun metal or brushed aluminum frames? I think it will match our TLs better than chrome.

www.herringtoncatalog.com has black frames that coordinate nicely and last a long time. I had them on my last car.

I have a question, I have seen people install the plate without a licence plate frame. I tried it (didn't want to advertize for the dealership I bought the car from), but it rattles sometimes... another other reason why the frame is necessary?

I removed mine. if you have four license plate screws... it holds great and no rattles. Plus, it looks a lot cleaner.

I just installed WeatherTech's ClearCover license plate frame/cover (in black) and am happy with them.
