cheaper license plate frame

So I love the "zoom zoom" license plate frame, but not the price tag.

It is hard for me to justify spending $40 shipped to get one.

Does anyone know of where I can get one, just not that expensive?

*besides telling me ebay*

Pay for what you like. I thought that was pretty expensive too but it just looks so nice on there. Plus it comes with the proper mounting pads and stuff that way it's not mounted directly to your bumper causing scrapes or scratches on the paint. (Not that you couldn't improvise your own but you pay for convenience) Good luck with whatever you choose to get. I like the Zoom Zoom too.

do a internet search for license plate frame. You can make a custom one for about $15 (plastic) a little more for metal.

Its an f-ing license plate frame

Just spend the 40 bucks if you must have it, or buy on ebay.

I bought a powder coated brushed frame for $20. Black on my BB - one only, of course, for the rear plate.
