Default License plate frame...suggestions?

I'm thinking of getting one for the rear. Which one do you have? Where is a good place to get one from?
I've seen this one on ebay.

I bought the same one on e-bay, paid $12.00. My local dealer has them for sale for $30.00! I am very happy with it, its a fairly heavy casting, the only drawback is it only mounts at the top, there is no provision for bottom mounting screws. It looks good and has held up quite well over the last year. I’d buy it again.
Regards,
White Bear.

Had one of those on my S-type for a while..started to corrode after 2-3 years.

Spend the money and get one of the quality OEM ones that will last for many years: Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com or at your local dealer, especially if you drive the car in the winter.

I have one that looks exactly like that. It is very heavy metal, more so than I thought it would be. I got it on line almost four years ago and it is in perfect shape. Sorry, can't recall where I got it. Can't remember exactly what I paid, but I think that it was under $20 with shipping.

For the supercharged amongst us, there are a couple good looking XKR frames with the later style logo on eBay for these kinds of prices as well- I almost got one but then decided to do without.

Have to agree with White, our Jag is a daily driver and frame is 3 years old and still looks new, sometimes OEM is the only way to go.
