Ebay, OEM Nismo, or "Z". I love mine.

The thing is that I just ordered a nice flex fit hat with the Z logo from
" the Z store motorsportauto.com and I forgot that I wanted some license plate frames as well so I'm trying to order so they can ship all at once, just don't know the quality, now I can't get a hold of them even though they're open. Some guy put a bad review on the ones they sell on Amazon.ca, thin metal, flimzy.

I am 100% satisfied with mine.

I have had the black metal nismo frame pictured above for two years and have been very satisfied with it. Sturdy and cleanly made. Came with with finishing caps for the bolts and adhesive foam backing so it doesn't rattle against the bumper under vibration.

i bought mine from griot's garage. it's a matte black metal frame. i also have a polished one i bought from an ebay store a while back which is basically the same as the griot's one and high quality... i just can't remember the name of the manufacturer or store...

dont just buy some cheap arse frame. cause you get wat you pay for.

i too am not into frames with lots of letters cause it just makes the car look too busy.

Got mine from thezstore.com aka Motorsport Auto. It is gloss black with the "370 Z" laser etched out. Gives it a cool look.

MacCool · 04-30-2014, 10:51 AM

I picked up a pretty nice, solid, chrome frame and the same frame in black (for the front) from Autozone.

Plain stainless steel frame with plexiglass cover from Advance Auto Parts on mine.

Another fan of Griot's here...

Just ordered the same from the Z store, they look good on the site until I read your post, so they should be nice so thanks guys for your awesome pictures and replies.

yea ive never understood why people buy frames that say "NISSAN" or "370Z" or something of the sort. you already have everything written on your car. another license plate frame saying the same thing makes no sense!!! "NISMO" i can kind of understand, but if you have a nismo 370z like i do, its pointless.

I bought a matte black metal frame from Amazon for about 7-8 bucks. I can't justify spending more than that on a frame for some reason... It's been a few months and it's just as clean as when I bought it. Didn't want any letters or writing on it because I feel like it's "too much"

You could always make one,

Items you will need.
Bubble gum, band aids, popsicle sticks, any color spray paint of your choice.

Use bubble gum to hold sticks togather, place band aids over sections where sticks meet. after your done paint.

Don't remember where I got it, but I have the black one with a single Z centered on the bottom.

What *I* don't get are the people who use the dealer frames that advertise the dealer name on them. Ick!
