Yeah really! I'd have to be paid advertising.... you think they'd let you put a sign in their store? Not!
I also take those damn dealer decals off my cars immediately.

Not to go totally OT, but I sell plate frames - and A LOT of people leave them on their cars.

My favorites are the ones from like JD Byryder & other bad credit used lots. When I see someone with one of those on their car it's like they're saying " My credit sucks!"

That's exactly what I did. And the same thought process.

+1

I told my OCD wife that I wished the dealer hadn't bothered to put that decal on my car. Ten minutes later it was off

IME, she's a limited edition and quite hard to find--especially in later models. The purchase price was very reasonable, but maintenance costs can be quite high. With proper care, the performance can sometimes be surprising.

Well if you didn't notice, I don't have a "370 Z" badge on my car, thats why I got the 370 Z license plate frame. I'm sick of people saying, nice 350Z... lol. I am not a fan of those ones that have weird colors on them and such.

Bought the black NISMO plate for my Z back in 2009 and it still looks perfect

Matches the silver/black theme of my car

kenchan · 05-06-2014, 07:27 PM

yah, with a busy plate like that, the frame does not pop out as much.

Good point, plus since the frame doesn't cover the whole plate it allowed for the artist's name to be shown through in the corner

also the plate mount area on your Z33's bumper is smaller and rectangular so it gives the area a nice clean outline.

everything looks contained.

I had such bad service that I blurted out "I'm taking those frames off the second I get home" when I was doing a walk around with the salesman. He asked me why and I just laughed it off.
