Default A-frame plate...

I added the painted A-frame plate. I think it looks nice.

sharp looking. just don't trust anything that's held on with double face tape, especially when on the exterior.

Thanks.
They are add ons you order in your car color. It is a thin metal plate that is painted to match and it has double sided tape. I suppose you could glue on if you want to commit, but the tape holds up great. In fact, to get them off you will bend the plate up and ruin it. They aren't going anywhere...I've already hit triple digits and no issues.
One word of advise, be careful of the sharp point at the top! Because they are raised up some, due to the tape under them, a towel or even your hand could get stuck with that point while cleaning your car! In retrospect, I would have glued them on permanently so they sit flush. Now I don't think I can get them off without destroying them...sigh!

Ecklers and RPI sell them.
I have been wanting to get some for a while, but since it is painted to order, it takes 4 weeks plus shipping. So 5 weeks total, but I was in no hurry.

I don't like tape only things. I've lost rather a rather expensive badge on a previous car that way. One day it was gone after a drive on the highway
