Default Simple Black License Plate Frame?

Wondering if anyone here has a suggestion since I am pretty picky what I want, even though it just has to be a thin black frame for my rear license plate. I found an old ad in the classifieds for Fast Friends Garage (https://ffgarage.com/collections/license-plate-frames) that has some that seem to be what I want, and he offers us a discount: anyone bought one or have a recommendation? I checked the local auto parts stores, Walmart, etc. and I bought on online in the past and it was crap.

Not sure if you'll consider CF, but bought this on Amazon. It's real CF and well made. No surprises.

Not the cheapest but I got mine from Griots. https://www.griotsgarage.com/product...rPicks&from=fn
The black pearl looks great and you get to pick thick, thin and the number of holes.

I don't use plate frames anymore but years ago when I had a BMW, I had their slimline frame (no BMW logo at all) in black and it was good quality. I assume it's still the same...worth a look.

The RL'er that was selling, had pretty nice product, from what I remember seeing last year. And buy the mounting blocks from the other RL, too.

You are not allowed to run a plate frame with "PORSCHE" on it. Major faux pas.

I spent hours online looking for a good quality black metal slimline frame without letters or logos. Only one I could find was at Porsche when I was in for a service, it doesn't show up at Suncoast or any other parts website. Had to special order it from the dealer. Comes with rubber spacers and screw covers. Part number is: PNA 703 002 03 (Black Stainless Steel)

So... You are saying one of these PORSCHEs and one of these T's has got to go.

I didn't see one around that I liked, so we made these, which are also metal:
