Default Looking for a plate frame

I looked around, but couldn't find it. Anyone know where I can find a plate such as below but in carbon flash with the "stingray" scripting is color-match (Laguna Blue)?

Those are neat red LEDs. Are they wired to the license plate light? I still have not put a frame on my license plate. Have not found anything interesting.

Saw a video on these. They are part of the muffler cover kit and the lighting has to be spliced/wired into the rear side marker lights. The cover were designed to "hide" the eventual rust that shows up around the edges of the muffler where the exhaust pipe exits. Pretty cool looking system. Sorry I can't recall the name and who sold them but they were on one of the Vet forums....

The name of the vendor is right there on the rear "plate", American Car Craft. I bought the plate frame (same as pictured above) and the non-LED exhaust filler panel from them. It may take up to 3 weeks to get the product from them, but they are worth it.

See the following post on the installation video. I posted the video on another thread last week.

You'll need to get the specific one for your exhaust type, either NPP or standard exhaust. There are different kinds of finishes as well.

Here's the one pictured above:

That vendor carries stainless with color matched lettering. I'm looking for carbon flash with color matched lettering.

Sorry, I misread your post. I haven't seen anything like what you're looking for.
