Rear licence plate frame, suggestions?

Going on a steel gray C300 sport. I kinda like chrome, and am keeping the current chrome badging, but would like to see some pics of what you guys have. All varieties.

Any frame that has four screws...

If you have any of the many vanity frames with only 2 screws, you will get the dreaded, cheap sounding plate richochet/vibration noise every time you close the trunk because the license plate will not be secure on all four corners...

All OEM Mercedes license plate frames have 4 screws

You are absolutely correct about this problem. But, if you happen to find a frame with only two screws that you really want, there is a pretty good workaround. Go to Home Depot and pick up a small package of clear door stop bumpers...they have adhesive backings, and are sold near the tear off felt pads for chairs and tables. Get the thicker ones, round or square. Place them so they are between the back of the frame and the front of the license plate. Rattle noise....gone!

Which raises the question.....has tit's what? As written, it is possessive, not plural, which in the singular possessive, would look quite odd!

Ha! You're right! LOL I just Googled the picture since I saw it in another forum but couldn't remember where. Still it would look like nice with that steel gray/chrome theme he's got going on. Don't you think?!

Probably so, but I'd suggest a different theme. My steel frame on my Palladium car simply has "Mercedes Benz" in the proper original font in black lettering along the bottom.
