License Plate Frames? (merged plate frame threads)

I've been looking for a high quality color matched frame for my ultra white Is but I can't seem to find one. I'm also considering black but not sure how the contrast will look. Anyone with pics let's see your set up.

Those look nice. I just want to see what it looks like on a white car before I order.

The frames are the Ultra Z model from here:

They are plated zinc alloy and very high quality.

The black frame looks really great. Definitely helps the front plate blend into the grille, and the white Colorado mountains actually match nicely with the ultra white paint. Nice!

Or glue a couple pieces of cheap steel to the back of the plate behind the holes so that you can fill the holes and then paint them white.

Nice looking car. I lived in the Denver area for many years up until a few years ago. I had a silver Audi and didn't like the green on the plate. I took a black permanent marker and turned the green parts a ver dark, dark green, almost black. It was obvious, but no cop ever bothered me. They don't look at the front plate anyway, because all the ever look for is the stickers on the rear plate. But I did that to both front and back. I would be really, really annoyed if I had the lovely F-Sport grill and had to put license plate on the front. I swear that I would cut it down so that all the extra space at the top is eliminated. I would probably even cut off the "colorado" on the bottom, leaving just the number and a minimal white border. You would have to fabricate a frame as well, but that would not be difficult. I doubt if you would get hassled as long as you don't get pulled over for a moving violation. And even if you got hassled, no reasonble cop would ticket you for it, but would probably only tell you to got to the DMV and get new plates. That's the worst that would likely happen, but not even that is very likely, and even if it happened, it wouldn't cost much.

I considered the version with the wider bottom, but it would cover the state stickers (if they are placed correctly) unless you paste them much higher on the plate.

I may do something like white plugs to cover the bottom holes in the plate.
