    License plate frames?

    Looking for a good looking/good fitting license plate frame for the rear. I had a couple before but they butt up close to the rear view camera.

    Has anyone gotten any of the audi sport frames? Or the carbon fiber frames? Or does anyone have any pics?

    Thanks.

    Tell that woman to stop leaning against the car! (and get into my passenger's seat...)

    I have a carbon frame for my plate. It's a two piece unit. The back mounts with the plate to the car and then the outer frame clips on over the back piece and the plate. There are a pair of pins on each side that the outer frame's held in place with

    It's a real biatch to get installed/removed - it's right up against the camera and I have to flex the frame just a tad to get it in place, but once in place it fits really nicely.

    Here's a link to the frame I have.



    It also has a clear plastic window (that didn't yellow with age) that I removed when I put it on my '09. It rubbed against the embossed numbers in my plate. If you're in one of the states that has a flat, printed plate, I'd leave the plastic cover in place.

    I have one of those, but it hit the camera so I didn't install it. Maybe I'll have to try again...!

    I chose the black, thin frame, 4 hole version of this. I also added their Security Bolt Kit. Clean, simple look and just the finishing touch I wanted.

    It is a fight, my friend.
