Default License Plate Surrounds

I just fitted my new Brit plates. Luckily theres a clause that allows me to fit US sized plates on the vert rather than the gigantic Euro size plates.

I need some license plate surrounds. I've seen the Kewl surrounds which look good but are a tad procey. Plus Kewl haven't had the best press for customer service recently. I want Mag Red surrounds which seems to limit my options. Any other alternatives out there in Mag red other than the stock GM surrounds?

I need both front and back.

From KEWL, you get what you pay for.

I got the Kewl surround and it looks great. There's a post out there somewhere about doing it yourself, but I don't think you save much.

I think the net is - if you want that style of surrounds, then Kewl is about the only game in town. You can get their products from other outlets if you're concerned about Kewl's customer service, but they're all made by Kewl.
