Got the same! Nice and simple

using this as well.

I picked up a silicone type frame as well. I have the CF spoiler and use the license plate to close the trunk so I like having the backing behind the plate.

Hi, I am concerned about durability - rust and powder coating coming off. Doesn't seem like anyone has had them long enough to report on this. Also are they 100% Stainless Steel or aluminium?

Plates are Black Powder Coated Stainless Steel. I’ve had my plate for 6 months and no issues. I also have 100% Carbon Fiber options as well.

Trying to PM you, but apparently you are 'private' - curious if you would be willing to work out something were I provide my review here and/or elsewhere and you provide some sort of incentive.

I’m not a fan of license plate frames but tried this based on a recommendation on the forum. Pretty happy with it and no worries about scratches or rust.

That’s a cool option. I always hate it when the plate loosens and rattles around when closing the trunk.

Thank you! I've been looking for a plain frame for my Subaru to display my Ownership Badges!

I was trying to install a black license plate frame from a recommendation from someone on the forum.
However I found the back of the frame has an edge with nothing to soften it. Directions suggest using weatherstripping to prevent marring the paint, but the model 3 is curved so this proves a challenge.

This is the one I was trying to install:

I have tried this one Custom License Plate Frames with Logo Massive experience. Good for auto dealers

All the black frame on amazons are either plastic or very ugly. So I spray painted the stock frame to semi-gloss black. Turned out pretty good!

You can do this for free if you have some sand paper and paint, since all Model 3's come with a metal license plate bracket.

I sanded down the frame evenly (started with 400 grit and ended at 1000 grit), and then sprayed a few light coats of satin black paint. Don't mind the high-temp engine enamel paint that I used, as it was what I had in my garage and didn't feel like driving down to Home Depot to get some rustoleum black paint. Afterwards, sprayed a couple of light coats of automotive clear coat paint over it to protect the black paint, and to give it a slight luster look that matched the rest of my satin black parts on the car.

The frame has survived the hot summer days, the cold winter nights, and lots of car washes in between. No chipping, fading, or anything.

Another option is to just plastidip the aluminum frame. Looks good and reversible if you ever want to go back to the original chrome.

That said, I just ordered the silicone frame linked earlier in the thread.
