License Plate Frames..
Hey,
My dealership (just like every other dealership) gave me license plate frames that say "RAMSEY AUTO GROUP" or something like that in writing. I am sick of this as I feel like my car is a mobile advertisement for that dealership and I don't like it. Does anybody know where I can get just a plain black license plate frame for our G35C (two screw holes at the top and a wide bottom) for a decent price? All the places I have found are charging $30 per frame and $60 for new license plate frames just feels like a rip-off.

If you really want to get a nice chrome on brass frame, go to www.autoattire.com and check out the section on frames. These are the same ones that they sell at the dealerships, and they have a great selection of logo frames. I like the thin all around with holes at the top only, but they have a cool G35 Coupe version/ Top quality, good price ($25 or so)

Re: License Plate Frames..
I got a metal black frame off of eBay for about $20. It had "G35" embossed on the bottom part in aluminum. The finish was matte and so I went to the nearest body shop and asked them to clearcoat it for a glossy look. Usually they'll do it for free, if not, they'll charge a few bucks. Simple, yet attractive.

Re: License Plate Frames..
i have a chrome, plain, thick bottom frame from here:
<A href="http://autoanything.com/license_plate_frames/results.asp?prID=67">http://autoanything.com/license_plat...ts.asp?prID=67
</a>
they have gold and black also. Quality is top notch. I found that anything decent was around $25 +. You can probably find the crappy plastic ones at any auto parts store for a few bucks, but you get what you pay for.

I have a chrome metal frame with G35 in silver on the bottom. My girlfriend picked it upon eBay for me before I even got my G. It was like $20 shipped. Anyone want it? I have no use for it, so If anyone wants it, I'll let it go for a freakin mickey-d's value meal or something like that... LOL
Just dont tell my girlfriend.....

Re: License Plate Frames..
Ducatiguy, I have that same deal...I have a chrome license plate frame that says "INFINITI" on the bottom that I bought off of eBay before my G35C came in...I really don't wanna use chrome, so it is sitting in my closet, lol.
Also, I have not seen this new decal....glad I didn't get one, lol. I would have ripped it off, anyways...I HATE it when dealerships do that....I'm not proud of the dealership I bought my car from or anything. =P
By the way, I'm going to take you up on that Liquid Glass Polish that you recommend.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by MrElussive on 10/28/03 05:35 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Re: License Plate Frames..
heh or you can go without a frame at all...... by the way anything that obstructs the license plate is illegal....meaning most license plate frames are illegal (on paper)
cops dont really enforce it though...
i went without a frame... strictlyZ.com was making some skyline laser etched chrome frames... i saw some pics but i am not sure when they will be available, i guess you can always call them and ask [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: License Plate Frames..
Everyone has their own taste, Dragon. =)
As for the plate-less idea, I think I do want a plate just for the black outline...NJ has stupid yellow license plates and I figure the black outline of the license plate frame makes it look less out of place.
I think I have decided on thin-frame plain black license plate frame as it seems to be the sleekest setup and works for me.

Re: License Plate Frames..
I agree, thin, plain jane, black frames look the best vs no plate or flashy "bling bling" chrome plates, reason why I'm willing to give mine away for a mickey-d's value meal.
I also like those euro covers they have with the plastic covers. The only drawback is that some places sell those things for like $50 and up! It's crazy!
I've heard about the law regarding anything that covers the plate in anyway includding frames, and yes on the books it is against the law (here in NY) but most cops dont enforce it unless you're a punk and they really wanna bust your *****...
Like getting a ticket for a tassle hanging from your rear view mirrow, a university decal on your rear window, no front plate, window tint, tail gating, speeding, and failure to yeild ALL AT ONCE.... ohh how I miss those days... lol
PS: YES I really got hit with all those tickets at ONCE! When I went to court for them, the DA was like you gotta be kidding me, and they all were dropped, but as with any court, if they got ya there, you cant leave without droping a little something in the judges pocket, so I got a no seat belt ticket $60 with a $30 surcharge... fun fun fun
"See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a *****, but only enough blood to run one at a time."
