Licesnse Plate Frame
What do you all have around your rear license plate? I am in PA, so no plate in the front. I just got my TL, it of course came with an ugly dealer frame, that has been since removed and I am running the plate only (which the dealer installed with wood screws (OYE!).

Anyway, I was thinking something carbon fiber would look good, also found a charcoal chrome that thought may look good. I have an 04 Silver, just can not decide!

I'm not a fan of license plate frames at all. I have a smoked cover over mine but that's illegal in some states.

Nothing or cover > frame

I thought about the smoke but not having front plates (req. in TX) already, i'd rather not cause more attention to myself.
Clear plate cover, 6$ at auto-zone.

It keeps lowlifes from taking the time to steal the plate's tags-- they move on to the next car without a plate cover.

It's not mine, though, as I've got California plates.

Nothing or cover > frame

and counts as a defective vehicle in some states, so 3 points against your license too
