How about running around **frameless** ? (m) (archive)

...or you can go to your BMW dealer and buy a BMW frame I believe, but I think all of them are either gold or silver. Or I'm sure you can get a dealer frame, if you'd like to advertise for them! I'm sure they'd be happy to give you one of those for free. I have a big "Desert Motors" frame around my front plate. I figure maybe it'll help "protect" the car if it gets bumped lightly in a parking lot? I dunno, but I took the rear frame off because it was ugly!

BTW, how were you able to keep your Munich plates on for 5 months? Or did you just wanna be illegal?

After five months of driving around the streets of San Francisco (OK, Palo Alto) with my Euro Tourist plate, I finally decided to play the semi-legal game and put the California plate on the rear (Munich plate still on the front).

I am looking for a simple but high-quality (not pepboys cheezy) license plate frame including a smoked cover to tone down the white plate against my Anthracite car. I've seen the cheap versions at the local autopart stores and some nice metal frames w/o covers in various online catalogs and on the cars of those on this board.

Suggestions? Do I go with a "normal" good frame (like the OEM BMW frame) and then add a cover? If so, where do I go just to get the cover? Pepboys has a cheap plastic cover. Is that the best I can do?

TIA,
Bill
