the whole personalized plate thing is 
mix feelings unless i see a funny one.
a lot of people on here have personalized plates, but when they post up their pictures they edit them out. IMO what's the point? you think there are more people looking at your plates online than on the road?

I suppose if one is dodging the IRS, his parole officer, his ex-wife, the leasing company or perhaps has some outstanding warrants, he might be reluctant. None of that makes sense considering the car is out on the street every day. So, here they are.

I agree completely. That's why I'm posting both of mine.

Which finish/color would you go with for the license plate bracket?
- polish steel
- black pearl
- black steel
- other
I have Iridium and i think i might do the polish steel.
Anyone know of any good aftermarket options?

Frame color
I prefer black because it matches the black here and there on the car. The other advantage to black is that when the front frame becomes pitted and marked up from flying road debris, I can sand it down and repaint it with satin black rattle can paint. I've used the same frames for a long time now. Any of the quality frames are going to cost 25-35 bucks each. The ones I have are machined aluminum and were anodized black and came from Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories (lah-de-dah) which went belly up years ago. Keep in mind that some states prohibit plastic covers over plates. My front plates are protected by Lexan which I have custom cut at a plastics outfit and when they get too sandblasted, I put another one on. I had them cut ten of them the last time and the cost was about $15. I drill them at home for the bolts. I think ratty looking plates make a car look poorly cared for.
