Since I'm sure everyone that has a front plate knows that the front holder doesn't really allow for a frame and it looks kinda not finished if just the bare front plate is in the holder. I found this cheap black silicone plate frame that actually fits just perfect inside the stock holder. Really gives it a finished feel and even has plugs for the bottom plate holes so it just works. Best $10 https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...aign=20220312_A_ET_TX_SDDOFD&utm_content=ITEM

P.S. Gotta say it looks better in person. The camera picked up on weird reflections. I could never get my frame to sit flush on the holder, this looks much cleaner. Helps that my plate is black, but still finishes the look.

Can I ask about your stripes? Where you get them? Did you install yourself?

Thanks for the lead. I've ordered one; looks like a good fix.

Had someone do them custom. 7.25" black and 1/2" white slightly overlayed 1/4" so total 7.5" each stripe. Vinyl with ceramic coating over them. I just love them. At 7.5" they just fit inside the humps of the hood. IMO that's the best size, but I think I am biased ???

Thanks! Good advice. My car is while and I'm trying to decide if I should just do a black-only or have an accent color also. Just curious what I cost you to do that .

Just the black was $800 and the pinstripes were $195. I think the pinstripes really set it off nicely ? But that's just me.

If I had a white mach-e, I would do either black or navy stripes with a grabber blue pinstripe and grabber blue calipers. Just love the color combos. Really makes the car stand out. ;)

Yeah he’s totally biased - 8” stripes are where it’s at ;)

I bought a pair of them from Amazon. One is on my rear plate to protect the bumper from the plate. The other is taking up space. ???

Well for those that have the brackets installed it works perfect. Not sure I'm sold on the decal yet. Plus now that my car is ceramic coated, not sure it's worth filling the holes, and starting again. I'm good with the $10 quick fix. Makes more sense with my stripes.

I had the bracket installed. I did not fill in the holes. If you look closely you can see where the holes are. But it's clearly not visible enough at first glance.
