Default License Plate frame?

Do you think this frame would be too much or would it look good? Should I just leave a plain black plastic one on.
I have to put some kind of frame on because the one that was on before scratched up area underneath where the frame goes

Less = better. No reason to say 'Lexus' twice on the back of your car.

I agree. I do have a chrome frame but it is all blank.

I put a chrome USC Alum frame. I often laugh at those people who put the "Car Make" frame. I think it is obvious to everyone what you are driving, why not spend money on something else.

Well, if you debadged, I would assume you would not want any badging on the license frame either, right?

While I'm not sure the DUB license plate frame will actually change your sexual orientation or turn you into a food product like it does for N2Shabby, I'm personally not a fan of the 'Dub' style.

Every time I see one (no matter what size wheels are on the car) I want to insert a 'M' in the word between the U and the B.

DUB
......^M

Why am I going to put advertising or stickers on the paint of my car for a magazine? Well, maybe I'd do a windshield banner for "National Geographic" or "Newsweek" All a big marketing ploy IMO, no offense intended for those that like their stuff... just not my style. Its one thing to do it for a car show, but to have it on all the time no thanks.

Edit - here's a good thread on licence frames I found using the search feature for 'licence plate frame'
