I spent five wonderful summers in Weekapaug, RI and miss it every day -40 yrs later....

 

There's nothing quite like summers in New England.

 

Do those metal frames scratch the paint on the car?

 

We poted for the Porsche Club of America stainless steel frame available on the PCA.org website.

 

Suncoast has a bunch: Plate Frames: Suncoast Porsche Parts & Accessories

 

I've yet to find a plate frame I like for me yet. (although that PCA on @afritze22 posted is tempting)

So for now I just mounted a black plate frame upside down behind the plate. The sides of the frame cover the edge of the plate all around and I think it finishes the edge of the plate nicely to match the black part of the bumper.

 

I'm going to order the brushed silver slim line one from suncoast. I think that will look good on my rhodium turbo.

 

Got this carbon fiber one - looks nice on JetBlack.
Thin, light, and does not call the attention to itself as some heavy ones.

I just placed a order at suncoast for the brushed slim line cover, sunshade and wheel mounting bolt guild.

 

and... WHOOSH !!!! He gone ! Great name.

 

I ordered a Weathertech frame - it was $20. Simple black design, no Weathertech logo. They have a "multi-flex" gasket that has springs to ensure a tight fit and no rattling.

I was about to order the aluminum billet frame from weathertec. Looks beautiful and super high quality.

Until I saw they put their name on it. Absurd. I'm going to pay $150 for a beautiful frame to advertise their name? I don't think so. Too bad. Great videos on their manufacture too.

Maybe they will make them without their name. I'll have to call them tomorrow when they reopen.

 

I have been on a search for frames, either black or carbon fiber with "TURBO" written on the bottom. I have found them in black, a real cheaply made copy of the original Porsche ones. Anyone ever see these?

 

This is the black plate surround from the Porsche dealer. These are not the screws that came with it, I just used these temporarily. The original screws have black covers to hide the hardware.

 

I picked up a brushed stainless steel plate that says Macan from my Porsche dealer. Check with your local dealer they did not have mine on display but when I talked to the parts guy he offed it up. I also like that the brushed stainless matches the exhaust tips as well!

 

I put the Skene mount on the front of my Macan because the tickets are too costly. If you like the pictures of the install and the finished product on in the forum under Skene

 

Well, Weather Tech just lost a sale.

That Billet License plate frame is right up my alley. I like well made beefy items. But I just spoke to them and they only make it with their logo emblazoned on the bottom.

Really, Weather Tech? I should pay $150 to advertise for you? I don't even let my dealer display their name on the back of my car, I should be a roving billboard for Weather Tech?

I'm willing to bet that they either don't sell many, or those they do sell, at least half the folks who buy them don't see their name on them at time of purchase.

Agreed, that is absurd. I'm looking for something now, as my plates came in, and when I went to put my old frame on, I noticed some rust. Which is disappointing, as I really liked it.

It said "I Run With Scissors"

 

Slightly OT here but relevant to OP. I will have a license plate in the rear and wondering what owners are doing to protect paint scratching. I am thinking of putting some foam-like material running behind either:
1) directly on the back side of the license plate
2) directly on the back side of the license plate frame

Just wondering...Not sure if I am going too crazy with little things like this but I want to protect any components if I can.

 

I was actually thinking of the same thing. I think I will tape 3M tape to the backside of the license plate directly to protect the paint and also provide a bit a cushion of any possible noise.

 

I just joined PCA and ordered their SS frame to balance out the black rear fascia on my white Macan. Since the model name is already on the tailgate, there is no need to have it again on the frame, IMO.

I think I am going to order one as well...Looks good.

 

I ordered the carbon fiber one.

 

Same as yours, high gloss black.

If I could figure how to paint the rear model designation black, everything would be consistent, black or white.

[I don't want plasti dip, I actually want to paint them black]

 

I wish they have gloss black one to go with everything else...I guess I am being too picky

 

After looking at everything online, decided to go with the slim-line carbon fiber frame offered by BMW. They have two types.....a CF-look printed on stainless, and real CF. The two bimmer dealerships near me didn't have the real CF in stock, but could get it in a day or two from their regional warehouse. After looking at the printed one, went for the real thing instead. A bit expensive, but nice quality, and I could see it first hand before buying it.

 

so after ordering the cf frame, I got a call from the sheepskin outlet, real nice guy, to notify me they don't have the four hole cf frame any longer and don't expect to get it in any time soon.


I ordered the black powder coat and used the balance toward Lloyd plush mats.

 

Ordered the black powder coat w/ the hardware kit. Will post pictures once I get the car...

 

In need of a new license plate frame to replace the dealer-provided one and I don't have a clue on what I want. What I don't want are those gaudy designs with "Porsche" or "Macan" written on it or anything in chrome.
