Default License Plate Frames?

What's out there for license plate frames? The stock one works fine...the black is just a bit dull...

Do you know how much that black (dull) one costs? You might want to put it up for sale if you decide you don't want it anymore.....

I painted mine MY to match my vert. Then I cut up a CorvetteForum.com sticker and placed it along the top. Gotta show our colors.

According to the original window sticker I got with my car, it was $15 when purchased with the car.

I went with something in between. I had this on my Z3 and took it off before I sold the car. I bought it several years ago at Pep Boys for 20.00 or so. It is Stainless Steel and has held up very well. No reason for me to change it out for the same thing 5 times the price

If anyone is interested, I have a Magnetic Red II rear one I can see you. Never used, still in the box. I bought the louvered rear license plate one and the plain painted one at the same time in case I didn't like one. I put the louvers on and like em. I don't plan on taking it off, so really have no use for the plain Mag Red II painted one.
