Default Best License Plate Frame Color w/ SGM?

I am looking into getting a license plate frame for my SGM IS250. What looks best with this color?

Chrome? Black Pearl? Black?

I like the look of Black Pearl but not sure if it will look good with SGM, won't have any contrast at all. Tried looking on the gallery but hard to find back shots of SGM with license plate frames not from the dealer.

Any thoughts?

I'd say either black pearl or body-matched.

I agree, I would go with either the top or the bottom one.

Cool

I think the bottom one would look good on your car. Depends what, if any, specialty plate you are using.

I have the third from the bottom (all silver one) on my Tungsten Pearl and it looks great....if I must say so myself. I have the Coral Reef Specialty License Plate.

I prefer matching the wheels or emblems with the frame's metal. If you have chrome wheels, get a chrome frame. If you stuck with the alloys, get a brushed aluminum frame. If you have black emblems, get a black plate.

How about Chrome Emblems and Alloy Wheels? Which one would you match?

I am thinking about going with the bottom one in CaTheFer's picture. (Chrome with Black Pearl Lettering) It's 40 dollars plus tax and S&H. So probably 50 dollars. I'll have to wait a bit though because I am poor due to tinting and illuminated scuff plates.

I guess if the plate is for the car behind you to see, I'd match it with the emblems.

And you don't have chromes?!? C'mon!!! Forget the tint and illuminated scuff plates...

That's the one I was thinking would look good on our cars as well.
