Yes, these puppies are expensive and the reason is 3-fold.

1) It's limited edition
2) It's BMW's Carbon Fiber, R&D is required
3) It's awesome!

A great alternative to the Vorsteiner plate frame.

Damn that is nice but I can't justify the price... But very nice.

Alow · 03-07-2011, 11:57 AM

Very nice.. but too much.

Unless it comes with some special screws or locking mechanism, I find it hard to justify putting on a $100 license plate frame that someone can steal in less than a minute...

Satalite · 03-07-2011, 12:24 PM

Does it have special performance features such as +1 HP?

Haha.

Couldn't justify the price, but good looks do make a car! Quality CF though so no bubbling in heat!

Maybe people will assume it's fake.

Bimmer-Bob · 03-07-2011, 01:06 PM

Me like.

Not sure I can swing $100 for a license plate frame, though - even an OEM CF one.

S54dan · 03-07-2011, 01:16 PM

I went ahead and ordered one for myself. I'll put it on tomorrow. Although my car is not driveable at the moment (hit & run

)

Hey Dan, do you get one license plate frame or do you get a pair? Because there are some of us that need front and back license plates

It's just for one. I got mine in this morning and it's very nicely made. I will post a picture when I have it on the car.

Sounds good Dan, cant wait to see it

Red135 · 03-08-2011, 11:57 AM

What do I do if I order it and find out it is illegal here? In AZ, you can't cover the name of the state at the bottom and it looks like it might. They don't enforce much here, but that is something they probably would.

ianc · 03-08-2011, 01:31 PM

Nice plate frame.

Laughable price.

Once it's purchased and installed, we can't take it back. The best suggestion I can offer is to sell it on the boards.

I agree the price is high, but sometimes you've got to splurge!

Did you install yours yet? Does it cover the bottom middle? A picture would answer the question.

Understandable. Yellow isn't for everyone. Anyone with Performance brakes (from me

) NEEDS this.... *cough cough larry, john z, etc

Red135 · 03-08-2011, 03:30 PM

well, I guess it can also make a decent frame for a pic of the car

S54dan · 03-08-2011, 03:31 PM

I just realized I don't have matching screws..... and I prefer to not use the BMW caps that come with each plate.

1013mm · 03-12-2011, 07:17 PM

nice!

Satalite · 03-12-2011, 09:36 PM

Good looks! I love your 2-tone screw set going on there

LOL trend setter am I right?
