Have you thought about replacing that chipped, faded license plate frame? Get rid of that chrome-plated piece of plastic and read on to find out how to select the best license plate frame for your vehicle.
Two or four mounting holes are used to mount license plate frames in Canada and the United States. The number of mounting holes on your license plate frame will depend on the make and model of your vehicle, so check first and choose one with the same number of mounting holes.
There are a lot of elements that can damage a vehicle's paint and trim on the back - snow, sun, salt, and debris.
Plastic and chrome frames are more likely to rust or show wear than stainless steel frames. Those looking for a luxe touch or performance vehicles may find carbon fiber to be a great option.
Invest in steel license plate frames rather than chrome-plated or plastic frames. It may seem attractive upfront to use these inexpensive materials, but they are quickly corroded after exposure to even mild sun, rain or car washes.
Chrome-like finishes are available in stainless steel without the risk of chipping.
Purchasing a frame from a dealership, automotive OEM, or other authorized retailer includes purpose-built spacers that prevent your license plate from touching your vehicle.
In addition to protecting your vehicle paint, this barrier reduces vibrations and allows harmful debris to drain which would otherwise collect behind the frame.
Before you decide on a frame style, you should check with the local DMV. State laws govern the use of state names and state mottos. Don't forget to check where your registration tags are located to make sure they're not obscured.
License plate frames come in a variety of styles, including:
License plate frames add a complementary trim without covering the plate or registration tags, and are compliant with all 50 states' DMVs
Semi Wide Bottoms have nameplates that measure 8 inches wide, as well as corner cutouts to display registration tags
These frames are 12" wide at the bottom, making them practical for use in states with no lower license plates or lower registration tags
There is a wide variety of frame finishes to choose from, so you can make your license plate stand out either way.
It is important to keep in mind that the finish is only as good as the base frame material on which it is applied - stick to stainless steel or carbon fiber.
