Nissan 370Z Forum  

Need rear license plate holder advice...

I want something clean and stylish.. Having a bare license plate on the rear end looks so unfinished... Should I just get the 370Z holder that Zstore sells in black?

I like those tinted license plate holders!
Those look pretty neat!
Also ModShack had a real nice one.
Try to look for the tinted ones!

I'm thinking about getting the black ones that say 370Z on them, but I really don't want to pay nearly 40 bones a piece for them. I hope they are high quality. I have had a lot of problems with license plate frames chipping and spotting. Right now I am still giving my dealership free advertising.

I did. Modshack recommended it and it's quite nice. not sure if you can justify the cost for a single license plate frame but I like it.

5 day old Z sandwich....Not pretty...>

That's billet aluminum and that has to be pricy, but it does look good. I definitely want something in black. I have to do front and back since I live in a Nazi state.

The frame described above is very nice, but not cheap! Billett aluminum made in the UK.

I just powdercoated mine to match my car..Should look sharp when mounted!

I bought that one, its steel, and has a nice rubbery Nismo logo. I like it.
