License Plate Frames

I know this isn't exactly a major mod, but I'd like to replace my cheap dealership frames and get something a little nicer, maybe either with just an Infiniti logo, or "G37xS". Do you any of you guys know a place online that you'd recommend?

Thanks,

Look for ones made by "Automotive Gold." I have a set of their black with stainless "G37S" lettering on them. Will snap pics when I get back. @ dealership getting the wife's oil changed in her EX.

EDIT: Oops! Forgot I already had the front one on in these pics!

After buying numerous custom metal plate frame for years, and seeing them degrade over time. I now buy cheap plain black plastic frames and get custom stickers printed up. They hold up much better than metal in my experience, and you can make them for cheap and 1 of a kind. I just got my G, so I don't have any yet for this car. But I've made them for my previous jeep and gti.

I personally like the no-frame look. Why highlight it? But then, I have a white plate on a white car.

Isn't it redundant to have a frame with the same lettering as the trunk just a foot away? Then again I'm still providing my dealer some free advertising.

I went with the palm trees. I hate advertising for dealerships. The frame and their stickers were the first thing to come off the car.

In New York, you can't have covers over your plates, so the frame has to be just that... a frame only.

I'm using Cruiser frames, chrome in the front, and black in the back. With gunmetal VMS fender washers. It's a really good look, IMO.

I really like these, or something similar to these, maybe in CF. Nice and simple.

Thanks. I like design elements that are clean and simple, and these fender washers make excellent tie-down bolts for license plates. If NY allowed for covers, then I'd probably strive for a bolt-less look. But it is what it is.

Here's another pic.
