Default License plate frame?

Hey guys
Anyone got a line on a cool license plate frame for the RS?
I've got a black one that says Porsche for my 997 turbo but it doesn't suit the RS as well.

Ideas??

This one adds 10whp, I've got the dyno somewhere around here to prove it.

Thinner frames are best, the ones with larger bottoms tend to scratch the paint.

That one looks good!

I have this one, quality is good for ebay, seller does the work himself and will custom anything. If you need a plate frame, might as well go black chrome.

I always use a thin frame, BUT, some TX plates have a white border with a black field, this just covers the white parts.

For the racers, this is a nice frame, laser etched on black painted stainless steel. I have this on a RR DD.

I just looked at ad, what about the fact that it doesn't have the little tabs on the back to hold the bottom of the plate? is that what the 3m tape is for ?? It doesn't have bottom holes for screws but yet the seller provides 4 screw caps.....please share

Correct, carbon fiber and only 2 screws. He provides only two, the white part is the "washer" the black cover snaps over.

3M HB tape holds the plate to the frame, then more tape on the back to keep it from moving...sano for the old time MX'ers. My car has a full wrap so I don't mind 3M double sided tape behind the plate.

In general if you have a factory PORSCHE logo on the back of the car already does the plate really need to remind everyone of the same, but the RS doesn't and it's very subtle being black on black.

PLEASE BEWARE OF "COPYCATS". Double check seller name to be sure it is sold by unique_karbon

**PLEASE READ**

Our license plates are made completely from scratch, using high grade carbon fiber and epoxy, and automotive grade clear coat. These "Copycats" purchase cheap, premade carbon frames and add logos to imitate our products. Once again, please be sure to check the seller name.

Because our plates are handmade to order, they will take 7-10 business days (Monday-Friday) to ship after payment is received.

This plate is made of real carbon fiber and the logo is placed under the clear coat so it will not peel off. Because the logo is beneath the clear coat, it will not be damaged with sunlight or harsh weather conditions. You will not be able to feel the logo, the surface will be smooth like glass. Each plate is hand polished to a mirror shine.

You will receive:

1 Carbon Fiber Plate Frame (see display pictures)
1 Set of Screw Caps (4 caps total)

Logos available in other colors. Please send us a message with any customization requests.

Included is 4 caps total, strange....I wonder if he can do a silver logo to match my gt silver

Good catch. I painted them with a black paint marker.

Yeah, maybe for other models 4 is needed or it's an option. The smaller black logo was a custom I asked for but he now regularly makes, he'll do almost anything. I believe he'll match colors...thought about a voodoo blue "RS" only but the car doesn't need it being bright blue.

"Prodotti Speciali Campagnolo"

That's been my license frame on every one of my cars for the last 20 years!
