Default Non-Chrome License Plate Frame? Help find one?

I would like to find a License Plate Frame that would match my wheels and the Scion Logo on the back. More of the Alloy color. All I keep seeing is CHROME and BLACK. Anyone know where I can find one that I am looking for?

It does not even have to say tC or Scion on it....I can be plain. I just didn't really want Chrome that much, and I'm sick of my Toyota frame ;)

Chrome with a matte-finish clearcoat would probably do the trick. Or even a smoke-tinted clear might look good.

I know you are not wanting chrome but I just got a chrome off E-Bay and it looks great on the back with the "tC" on the bottom. Really not sure what other "good" choices are out there. You definintely don't want plastic again.

BTW, also make sure you get the caps as it adds a nice finishing touch.

Yeah, I see a lot on EBAY. They all are pretty much chrome or black. I have a Flint Mica tC, so either would look decent.

If I do go chrome, not sure if I would get the "tC" plate or the Scion Logo plate.

But yes, they are pretty cheap on EBAY. $10 or less with the caps

Haven't been to the scion.com website for a while but took a quick look at the tC accessories list and now there are 3 license plate frames for the tC. So if you don't like the ones you see on ebay, etc., your Scion dealer can order directly from Scion. Of course they are overpriced but what is else is new?

Rather funny but the panoramic roof is listed as An ACCESSORY!!

It looks like the official one doesn't even have a tC logo on them and they're just plain. If that's the case, they should be pretty cheap. The one's with the tC logo's somewhat differ so I guess I'll do some shopping around before I decide.

I got the chrome one off of E-bay. Very sharp looking.
