your thread has been moved from the Performance section to the main section. Contrary to popular belief, changing your plate frames does not give you +WHP.

I have some plate covers (Stainless steel) that support my local university.

LOL! NICE yes changing it doesn't give you +WHP. i got the one that says TL on the bottom thats in straight font, and italicized in the back, so let me get some pics in a bit and i'll show them to you.

Just ordered mine this morning. I got the bottom Type S frame, but in chrome instead of gold.

Has anybody noticed that the top and bottom screw holes are different. It might be me but I currently only have screws for the bottom screw holes and when I tried to put them in the top holes for a tighter fit they would not go all the way in.

I wanted to use four screws for a license plate border to stop the rattle but I can not figure out if it is really two types of screws.

PM me if you can't get yours to work. I think I have the screws from my front LP around somewhere I can send you a couple.

You can add a plastic cover for $3 with your order from auto attire. They are pretty easy to find anywhere online too.

Yes, but although the OP titled it plate covers he was referring to frames because he said he prefers it to be in chrome.

Elegant TYPE S, where can I get that license plate frame?

Love that RJ kit. Makes the TL look more like an exotic sports car. Seriously thinking about getting one (not sure if I should get painted or unpainted kit). Like the fact it replaces bumpers instead of just duct taped on, as well as the front lower mesh vents.
