Default License plate frames

Any GT4 specific license plate frames out there? Been searching but nothing seems available. Thanks!

I just got a generic carbon frame, but recently learned of an upcoming product from Pearl Auto that incorporates a solar, wireless backup camera and uses your phone as the display. May not look great, but might be worth it.

If by GT4-specific frame you mean one that says GT4 on it, friends don't let friends add license plate frames that duplicate existing emblems already on the back of the car.

I think this is probably the most classy Porsche specific license plate frame. It's the slimline black stainless steel model made by Porsche. Subtle, classy, and goes well with the rest of the matte black trim on the car's exterior.

Also it comes with all the right kind of mounting screws including little black rubber adhesive donut washers that stick to back of metal license plate to ensure the plate doesn't rattle or scratch against the car and nice black snap-close screw covers for a clean look once mounted.

Hate words on plate frames that repeat words on the back of the car. It's like anti-debadging.

Even worse when it's in that cheesy cursive script that doesn't match the design language of the car at all. Makes me want to roll down my window at the stop sign and ask "HEY IS THAT A (INSERT CAR BRAND)???"

Simple flat black with covered fasteners works for me. Four fasteners and rubber grommets so it doesn't rattle around. Even better if it has the larger bottom to cover that dmv.ca.gov text at the bottom on CA plates, as the last thing I want plastered on my fun car is anything to do with the DMV.

Less emblems the better. My GT4 is Black and I like that the rear emblems/script blends in...

I have a no-logo, SS black slimline frame. Bought it at my local BMW dealer. Think it was $30 or so.

Had this made for the lambo. Real CF. Script matched "Lamborghini" script. Made by www.5ivefifty.com. Not sure if she is still in business- but it's a quality product and she helps figure out graphics, fonts, colors and will do whatever is possible.

Plate frame from 5ivefifty for the Cayman R. I also had one made for the Z06. All said "not a garage queen" in a way that matched the color and personality of the car. This is the German translation for "not a garage queen" - done in a German "feeling" font. (Sorry for focus - it lost some clarity when cropped)

I like the concept. Wish the frame wasn't so bulky though.
