Lic Plate frame and/or Accessories

[Stef]

Looking like not many accessories available for the NGT??
The Ford Performance lic plate frame will not fit so luckily I had an extra 05/06 style laying around.

What are some of you using for this?

Not going to make it faster, so why add weight? License plate isn't a picture that needs framing. :wink

I bought black shiny stainless at AutoZone for under 10 bucks.

My choice

Carbon of course.

The best license plate frames are made by Seibon Carbon. They are 2mm thick, handmade with a gloss twill weave pattern that exactly matches our lower trim. I added a few stickers.

"Fly Navy" for me and at least one other Forum denizen.

I went with carbon as well. Not as rad as Ed's though. He is the Sticker King!

Auto zone , gloss black $7.95 on sale
put a little black duct tape on the edges to prevent scratching.

I got nothing. The CF does look nice (and appropriate)

All good choices!

Like a self imposed ballast BoP :lol

Agree and CF really looks great.

Here is a photo of how close the twill weave of the Seibon license plate frame compared to the GT's weave. They are made in California & I measured them at 2mm thick. Most CF frames are only 1mm.

PS I used 5mm heat resistant nylon spacers behind the plate with Ti drilled washers & bolts. I like Ti as much as Bony liked CF. I even have Ti valve stem caps!

 

[GTJack]

Where did you get the Ti bolts and washers?

 

[roketman]

Nice Ed,
Advise me where to get the same exact set up please!
Thanks Ron
PS I need the stickers too!

Looks really clean Ed. We need 11-99 CF frames!

I look up the plates and the pictures.Does yours show their company name blended in the carbon as shown in their website!

This is the link for the Ti valve stem caps. You may want to shorten them. I have the natural ones.

Ed what size fasteners?

 

[Ed Sims]

Ed what size fasteners?

M6 1.00 x 20mm

I have the internal hex but you could choose external hex or button head. The OEM faster is 15mm long but if you use a 5mm spacer you'll need the 20mm bolt.

I bought the nylon spacers from the local hardware store.
