    MA Carbon is the place!

    They do top notch quality custom CF work. They're able to do anything in CF. They're the best.

    Are you looking for a frame or a CF mount/frame that could be mounted on the black glossy front bar in the grill. That is what I am looking for, since I need to find something to modify the front to be able to take a license plate without changing the entire grill out! (State law)

    Right now I think the rear plate mount can work on the front. It would need to have self tapping screws to mount it into the front bar, smack dab in the middle of the grill and the bar. Then the plate could mount and have a nice thin CF frame around it.

    A matching thin CF frame for the rear would be good also.

    I bought this one and it is very nice, but won't clear the backup camera if used on the rear of the car.

    thanks Desperado---great stuff. I was concerned about clearing the rear camera. I was also concerned about the thickness. However, for $18, I think I can afford to give it a try.

    Thanks for all your guys feedback. I'll post pics when I get it.
