This morning when I walked outside I realized that my car still had the same crappy license plate frames that were put on by the dealer when I bought it. They weren't looking too good, so I went on a search for something to replace them with. I found some pretty nice Mercedes and AMG frames on Ebay, but I wanted something TODAY, as I was bored. After driving down to the local Autozone(I needed a new battery), I perused their selection. All of it was junk, but I found one frame I could have some fun with.

I picked up a "Make Your Own Message" frame for $12. It comes with tons of letters and lets you make your own message. I know it's cheap and plastic, but I don't care. I'm sure it's more suited to a Cavalier, but that's what makes it fun. I wanted to have some fun with it, so I set about thinking of a message I could put on there. However, I am having some difficulty, so I am turning it over to you guys. Any ideas?

It can hold 10 characters at the top and 13 characters at the bottom. Changing the message takes all of two minutes, so until it breaks into a thousand pieces or I find a nice proper frame, I'm going to keep it.

I'd love to hear your ideas for messages and/or see what type of frame you currently have. If I see something I like I'll put it on there. Right now it says "YEAH, IT RUNS ELEVENS", which is close enough to the truth.

I don't have any frames on my car I think it's cleaner that way. If I was going to put messages on a frame I would get the scrolling LED frame that you can reprogram.

Meh, corny IMHO... just get a thin plain black frame.

izzyz28

Oh I know it's corny, that's what makes it fun. I will probably end up with a couple of nice black glossy frames. I would go without, but the front plate looks like garbage without a frame.

get the black or chrome AMG frame for the rear.

regarding the front plate, get rid of it and problem is solved

imho, the matte black powder coated alloy Ital frames are still the best frames on the market. They're high quality and classic, and still can't be beat. The rubber gasket means no rattling ever. Forget all that blingy garbage out there.

Mine has sparked some interesting conversations...and is very subtle.

izzyz28

Trust me, I want to. However, the holes are already in the bumper, and I already have two tickets for no front plate. Illinois sucks.

220S, I really like the Ital frames, I may have to pick up a couple of those.

Why not get an AMG carbon fiber plate? They are very nice and metal.

im going to autozone and buying some today. im going to put "Marry Me?"

and drive around laguna beach.

izzyz28

That's what I started looking for, but all I could find were chrome and black, and they looked pretty cheap. Are there any on E-bay that I missed, or do you have a link where I could find them?

fortlaudsummer

I was going to suggest this but mikey beat me to it. re: getting it today...do you not have a dealership nearby?

infantry

get the 3m carbon fiber vinyl and wrap the regular license plate frame with it!

izzyz28

As cheap as it sounds, I would be more inclined to do this before buying a $60-$70 frame that will probably be stolen within 2 weeks(along with my plates for good measure) because it's CARBON FIBER YO!

I have one of these. Great quality including the screw covers.

Rather than offer endless options you should have chose, I will play.

I really liked the Blackwater one and you could go along other interesting avenues.

If this cars rocking, don't bother ....err too many letters

Someone elses turn.

izzyz28

Although I really appreciate the other suggestions(and will choose one soon), this is what I'm talking about. I think "I am the law" would be fun for a couple of days.

I also thought about being a jerk and putting "YOUR TAXES BOUGHT THIS" since I'm a public school teacher. Actually that wouldn't be a jerk move at all, since I pay more taxes than most families and I have exactly 0 kids that are or ever will be enrolled in public school.

"back off" on the top row and "damn cops" on the bottom row

How about "Still In Debt" or "Almost Paid For"? Something alluding to the perceived cost of MB.

I was thinking along the lines of "LESS THAN YOUR TAHOE" for all the dorks that don't understand depreciation.

i think im going to go out and get this. lol im thinking of a few things on my e63 like...

BAD MPG or 10/23mpg 507hp
or i like the idea of YOUR TAXES BOUGHT THIS cause im military lol.

izzyz28

I've been tossing around some sort of dig targeted at the Prius. I actually think it's an awesome car, but they are all over the place around here and I feel the need to take a jab at them. Plus I hate beng stuck behind them around town because the owner has his or her eyes glued to the MPG/power meter on the dash and can't be bothered to accelerate at a reasonable speed.

infantry

dude i got one today, it was like 5 bucks in a discount rack thing.

i have yet to put it on but i put on the top row US ARMY
and on the bottom row i put 6.3L V8 507HP

i dunno if i should put it on though.
