Nicest License Plate Frame?

[IDM]

I have seen the MGW license frame but am just not sure about it.

I have no frame now, not sure if stock came with one or not...?

Any suggestions and links are appreciated. This will probably be my only exterior mod so it better count haha.

MGW makes some great quality products. I have 2 of their license plate frames, a couple shift handles, and a Gen II glove box cover. What are you unsure about?

MGW is the nicest I have seen, very well made

I love MGW stuff too, ordered a knob and cupholder bezel a few days ago. Was just seeing if there was anything else cool out there.

Really was hoping for something plain and classic vs the 2 viper references it has....we know its a viper!

I just got a liscenced product from dodge off ebay, its a chrome frame with etched VIper in red. Pretty cool looking.

do Gen IIIs have 4 screws for the license though? The ones on ebay seemed to mostly have 2

How many does yours have?

I personally use a black Ital license plate frame - fairly heavy for what it is, but I think it looks nice, and it uses/hides all four mounting screws. I just wanted something plain...nothing that had a Viper logo or wording on it.

+1. The MGW frame and the optional mounting hardware are just plain nice!

Btw, I'm sure you already know that most aftermarket frames won't fit on these cars due to the limited vertical space - just something to bear in mind...

Yes the car has 4 the plate has 2 and covers the bottom 2, still fine tho.

I had one custom made from billet because I don't like logos or screw holes. I made a custom mounting plate and had 2 threaded studs welded to that. It bolts in place of the rear mounting points for the fascia. It just bolts from behind on the inside of the car just like the factory bolts that holds everything together. It added a little bit of weight but I really don't care. The end result was well worth it to be different and clean.

Wow! Very nice. You should sell 'em...

 

[Jance GTS]

Wow! Very nice. You should sell 'em...

Thanks! There is just way to much involved for it to be something I would want to sell. Most people wouldn't want to pay that much just for a license plate frame that would require removing the inside carpet just to install it.

Good thing about it though, I'll be the only one that has it!

This is an important point when you're considering a frame. You really don't want a "frame" but rather a "cover". There's VERY little room above and below the plate for the typical height/width of a frame. The MGW (which is superb) and likely some others, essentially cover the plate and most of their frame is over the plate as opposed to surrounding the plates perimeter.

Just saying....

I have 4 of the MGW frames along with a lot of their products. They are of an excellent quality.

I have the MGW frame and agree with what Citysnake states above.

I had an MGW plate frame just like this black one. I took it off because some cops will give you a hard time about it because it covers up part of the state name on the plate.

Are you sure you didn't draw their ire due to the added "indentation" between the "8" and the "3"?

I ask only because some time ago one of my clubmates snuck a letter "I" between the C and T of my CTYSNAKE license plate (we're only allowed 8 letters). Got pulled over and had to listen to a LEO's dissertation on defacing public property. Wonderful clubmates!

I also had an MGW frame and had to take it off because the officer that sits outside our neighborhood each morning said it obstructed too much of my plate. I ended up with this simple black frame made by Cruiser. I am also using Cruiser security screws instead of the ones MGW supplies.

I'm using a plain glossy carbon fiber frame, but had to trim it a bit on a sander to fit the small vertical space. The plate area on a Gen 3 is hardly any bigger than the plate itself!
Also added some double sided foam tape behind the lower bar to keep it from vibrating against the plate at speed (no lower screws on this design).

what he said. The vertical space is tight so I went to auto store and tried all the higher coverage black frames until I found the one that covers most of tag and looked good. Same on front as MD insists on two tags. Using the snap on front mount (from parts rack I think). Removes in seconds for show, etc. don't try leaving front tag in the trunk in MD... it only took a few months before a local noticed and made me re-attach it

I think the OP's question has been answered... Jance's is definitely the nicest license plate frame!

I just have one from my alma mater Notre Dame

I live in Sarasota area, I went up to Land -o Lakes Fl. to the TheViperstore.com. Near you, Take alook at there web site..Call Chris. I had bought the plate and went up to have other Stainless steal products in stalled. They all come off back to stock if need be.. They give you a plank key to fit in the key slot, it has velcro on both sides. Velcro under the plate to holds it on, and under the key, It really looks sharp!
