such a broad question. get whatever one YOU want. who are we to tell you which license plate bracket to get?

this is a big decision and you don't want to screw it up. take it from me, one time years ago...I got the wrong bracket, and I haven't been the same since.

Do you mean the plate frame or the actual license plate bracket?

If it's just the plate frame, get a thin plain black, brushed nickel or chrome frame. I've got a thin chrome frame over a clear plate cover.

Obviously, this is the most efficient license plate frame. Especially, if OP's car is V6. It can reach the maximum efficiency.
