| where to buy license plate frames
Hey Guys, I am looking for some nice quality license plate frames in black. Where do you guys buy locally or order from within Canada. I like the Weather Tech billet aluminum ones, but they are $239!!!!! looking to spend between $50 to $100 per set.....BMW or Porsche specific ones are good. Thanks

get free ones from a dealer (flat style, not embossed letters). then remove the lettering paint (brake fluid seems to do well) and give it a polishing buff. tada
surprisingly clean looking.

i bought a pot metal black powdercoated plate frame from crappy tire many years back and it's like new, not like those cheap ones out there that rust or flake.

I'm surprised your dealership doesn't just give them to you.
I've gotten aluminum mcl plates for free
Aluminum Ferrari / Maserati plates for free
Just roll up with the AM or Porsche (anything they sell) and ask service.

Our back plates are annoying for fitment because of that little sticker gap at the bottom.
Anyone know anything about doing 3D printing online? I might be able to figure out the modelling part but I don't know where to go for printing. Someone in my 500 club made these.
