Default Need Opinions: Which License Plate Frame Flows Better?

Alright guys, looking for opinions here. I can't decide which license plate frame flows better. As you can see from the pics, I have carbon fiber emblem inserts, so I figured the carbon fiber frame would flow. But after installing it, I don't know. Seems like the contrast might be too much. Thoughts? If I do go back to chrome, I'll probably get a plain one without the Lexus text.

Are you going for sporty look or classy/luxury look?

Since your ride looks aggressive, I say go for the sporty Carbon Fiber. Your ride scares me... I wet my seats whenever you drive by. No need to have another chrome "Lexus" when you have one to the left already.

I'm going for the sport-luxury look haha. I don't have a particular theme, I just get what I think looks good.

I agree, too much Lexus badging. That's why I said I'd get a plain chrome license plate frame.

Honestly, I never fully understood the purpose of rocking a "shop" license plate frame. I figure people do it to simply support their favorite local shop, or maybe in exchange for a discount (like a sponsorship). I do most of the modding myself so I guess it's a moot point anyway.
