Question License Plate(s). Dealer Frame, Different Frame, or Nekkid?

Finally got my plates in the mail.

Bleh, California requires front plates. Too bad, since the bracket installed is the one that attaches from the inside under the front air intake, no holes in the front bumper.

So, I'm debating installing nice blank stainless steel frames or just going nekkid. No plate frame at all. I don't like being a free driving ad for the dealer.

The plates on my Mazda are nekkid.

I'm leaning towards going nekkid with the Fit. It's cheap.

I've got the clear plate covers to protect my personalized plates.

I have the clear plate cover with a plain black frame to protect my personalized plates on the rear, and just a clear cover on the front (no frame).

Nekkid for now. Texas has a law that prohibits license plate covers from obscuring the word Texas on the license plate. I doubt they enforce it much, but why give them a reason to fine you $200 on a whim? There's plenty of small cities around here that make the bulk of their money from traffic stops.

I like it Naked!
plus every time I get "serviced" at the dealer, they put a new complimentary rear frame on for me!

$200! that's nuts, not a fixable ticket?

I have blue tinted covers front and rear. The back one looks nice with blue LED licence lights.

The "dealer name" plate frames lasted about a week. In NY, clear or tinted plate covers are prohibited by law, and I'm in no mood to enrich the state over something that trivial. My plates are nekkid and rusty.
