Default New License Plate Frames

What do you guys think about these? I've been looking for some new frames for a while that just say "F" and not "F Sport".

https://www.ebay.com/itm/142703127667

Bought them on Sunday and they just arrived. Quality is pretty sturdy, maybe slightly thinner than the dealer frames that came with the car. About the same fitment, except perhaps they show a little more on the top and less on the bottom.

Here they are compared to the dealership frames. I did not use the bolt covers as they are not flush with the bolts that I have.



Before (Excuse the dirtiness, Need to wash it after the storm we had yesterday):



After:

Thanks, I didn't even know about that site. I'm digging the carbon fiber frame but am I missing something or do they only sell the full carbon fiber one as part of a gift set? Makes no sense to me why they'd force you to buy to sets of valve stem caps and 2 key chains to cover your front and rear license plates.

This looks great! Is the 'F' just a sticker or is embedded in the frame?

Also, where'd you pick this up?

Looks like a plastic emblem held by double sided tape.

the F emblem is in the frame. I ran my nail across it and it doesn't get caught on my nail. I believe it's a sticker. Hit up Rotanak Giang on FB. I got it from him.
