Rear License Plate - Not quite U.S. spec

I have a WeatherTech frame. I had it on my Sonata for 5 years and it worked well. I put it on the rear of the Mach-e and keeps it away from the body and the bumper.

I put strips of sticky back foam rubber (weather stripping) on the back of the license plate. It keeps it from rattling around and holds it away from the bumper top slightly. The downside is that it will hold water and make a mess long term. I like the look of the silicone rims but I already have the Etsy carbon fiber rim. Maybe I will get the silicone for back and move the carbon fiber one to the front plate ?

Could you just put a couple of squares in the corners and let the water drain in the middle?

Yeah, I probably did go a little overboard, thanks for pointing that out. I have a roll, so easy to redo.

How about trimming the top and bottom edges of the plate, or just folding over a small bit of the edge to make it shorter?

My PA plate also seems to just touch it... although I purchased a black silicone cover as well, but mostly to replace the dealer one. Seems good so far.

That's exactly what I did as well. The silicone has a low profile and protects from scratches.

What did you end up using? How did it turn out?

I put some small felt bumpers behind my plate. No biggie.

I have received both. I have not tried them yet as it is too
cold here in Ohio. Next few days I am going to see which
one works best. Looks like larger one will but I see a few
mods to do. I will post pics.

I have installed license plate spacer. Either one will work but I
liked the smaller one best as it is thicker. Drill the bracket holes
to 1/4 " for proper fit. Use the screws that came with it. Quick and
easy and you get it off the bumper nicely. I will post pics but I
do not know if you can see how good it works.

I just received my plate so I am glad I saw that thread!
I ordered this silicone plate frame and hopeful the color will match the rapid red.
