Default Replacement License Plate Frame

Has anyone replaced their stock black plastic license plate frame with a chrome or S/S frame the same size (fills entire space between backup lights) as the original?

If so, where did you get if from?

TIA

KEWL products has the exact same one as the black surround but in chrome. It is a new product. I would have purchased it if I didn't already buy a chrome frame. I didn't like the space that was left when I removed the black surround and installed just the chrome frame, so I put the black surround back on, got longer screws and put the chrome frame on top of the black surround. Looks much better.

Didn't know about this. I have their painted surround and it is a nice product. Have to check the chrome one out.
