I thought I'd start a thread on license plate frame options. I think one or two people have pictures of their Macans with license frames installed. But, I don't know if they got a genuine Porsche, or aftermarket, or which one. For example I can't find one on the Porsche site that is specifically listed for the Macan. Will one of Porsche's generic frames that just says "Porsche" work? Do people know of good quality frames that say nothing? Maybe just a simple chrome or black frame will do. I just want to move beyond the bare license plate screwed to the car and am wondering what others have found.

My new Macan was collected at the Porsche Delivery Center Experience - Atlanta and was provided w/ this cast metal plate frame. It is unobtainium except when provided in this method.
Not really a plate frame person, but I like how this looks on my vehicle, maybe from the nice memories of that trip.

I usually don't care if the dealer puts their plates on my car as long as it's not too obnoxious, but I ended up putting these on my car. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YZFM2FQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Plain black silicone, inexpensive, thin so it doesn't obscure much of the plate & looks good. I left the dealer plates on my wife's car and will probably let them put them on the new her new Cayenne but I will keep the silicone for my new Macan.

I'm very happy with this silicon frame. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CV5PLFM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
My dealer doesn't swap it out for their's when I do a service.
The plate is inserted within the frame. On a dark car the plate looks smaller.
No rattles, no concerns keeping it away from painted surfaces.

Stainless Steel License Plate Frame
FWIW, I took a different route. My state does not use front plates, but I had holes to contend with from front plate holder... I decided to throw a European front license plate on my 2017 GTS. I was able to find the front plate holder at Suncoast (look up 95BSPLATE and you will find multiple options). There are many places online that can create a new plate or source an expired one. I was able to source the official stickers that were in effect in 2017, as a subtle touch. I personally like the look and thinks this presents as unique.

1 - frame gets dirty, wash it off
2 - cannot scratch or scratch the actual rear valance that it's attached to
3 - light weight / plyable / etc.
4 - because it's not metal, if you have a custom system, it doesn't rattle and make your car sound like it's on a budget
5 - it's relatively cheap
