Which license plate frame matches best with shadowline trim w/Black Sapphire Metallic
I am trying to get a rear license plate frame, I have one that used to match my old Jet Black x5 well (honestly it was a chrome metal plate that I painted with satin black Rust-Oleum finish and it looked great, but now with black sapphire metallic and black trim, and the old frame being a bit beat up, I want to get another to go with the X3 m40i.
Can anyone recommend one because nothing really looks real online, especially the carbon fiber ones. Thanks in advance.

I got this one on Amazon. It fits perfectly and doesn’t block any of the legible portion of the plate . I know Jersey just changed the law but, I’m sure some states still don’t allow the lettering of the plate to be blocked.

It is indeed ridiculously pricey for what it is, but I bought their (RE) strut braces which I like a ton, and figured I’d grab this too “You gotta support the team” |

I went with a silicone one, pretty minimalistic which I like.

I just posted something not sure what happened to it, posting again.. Do these fade, how long have you had it? I am worried about NY weather that could be 30's overnight into 70s at noon in some days, not to mention sub zero winters or scorching summers. Although I had weathertech front bumper plate frame (not the crazy sticking out ones, but this one: https://www.amazon.com/WeatherTech-B...dp/B00YJIOBOA/ and it never really faded but it wasn't dark black anyway, that was my favorite since I used to park on street, not I don't have front frame yet and will try to get away with it as long as I can.. Do they make them as spray? The ones I bought were all lip-stick sized cans with small brush/pad applicators.

I ordered this from Amazon, I thought it would be thin cheap material but it's pretty sturdy metal and I think it looks good I just need to replace the screws with ones that has caps.
