(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best license plate frames

>Best seat covers?

Get permaplate option, this will cover external and interior. Enjoy the seats without seat covers, I did put a seat cover so the baby car seat was on the cover.

>Best dash cams?

I really want this dash cam Blackvue DR590, saving up for one.

>Charging cable ok in weather?

I have been doing research on Chargepoint level 2 home charger. Its weather proof and if you install the 220v 32A version you can charge your car in 2 hours.

>Battery efficiency on the highway?

I only had my Prius Prime for a week now, hybrid works well. Drive in B mode and plan out your trips so you can charge at your destination. For example, we started to go to Target because they have a Chargepoint station. We shop for about 2 hours and by the time we get back to the car is fully charged. We can do all of our shopping using EV only.

>Toyota service centers only?

I got the extended maintenance plan so yes for me only Toyota service.

>Get that extended warranty or no?

I got the 7 year extended maintenance because I already know how much the dealer ship will charge for normal maintenance. I just want to have the peace of mind knowing everything is covered and did not want to deal is any issues. Plus if you get it during purchase I believe its at a bigger discount. Because I sign up for it the dealer ship gave me LoJack for free and 72 month financing 0 APR.

>Any reassurance that I made the right choice not waiting for the 2018?

I was thinking the something, at the moment you have a big advantage because they are trying to sell off the rest of the 2017 to make room for the 2018 models. I want to say you have more power to haggle, for example I was able to get 72 month 0 APR financing, free LoJack and $3000 off the asking price because I mention the local special and because I was prior military.

Or maybe a shirt with a GoT quote on it. Like "That's what I do. I drink and I know things."


If you search "whiskey accessories" on Amazon, there are a number of different whiskey stone gift sets that come up.

DEWHEL JDM Front Bumper Tow Hook License Plate Mount Bracket Holder Tow Hole Adapter Bolt On for 10-16 Hyundai Genesis Coupe https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073W7X6SY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.30NDb6VP7WBD

I was skeptical at first because the reviews said that it spins and that it doesn’t fit an Elantra but after taking the plunge it works perfectly. Fits exactly like it’s supposed to and doesn’t spin at all. Mine is hand tight and can still move but does not spin. Took maybe 10 mins to install because it has multiple mounting points so you can get it exactly where you want it. I have mine on the farthest left hole in the middle.

Got thin black frames from amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Ohuhu-Powder-Coated-Aluminum-License/dp/B01IVIH4YC . 11 months old and the finish is still great. I also put felt pads behind my trunk plate to keep everything raised off the paint and avoid any potential rubbing.

I have personalized plates so I wax them every time I do the car to keep them looking nice and provide a bit of UV protection. Now I'm wondering if you can ceramic coat them...

Glad to see another BC twin on here. Welcome! The FT86 Vancouver club sells black plastic frames as well I think...

I found the horn to be way too wimpy so I replaced the stock one with this PIAA pair.

I also didn't want to screw my plates straight through the front bumper or directly against the back bumper so I put on license plate brackets that I think make it look much nicer.

I took the advice from a bunch of folks on the subaruoutback.org forums and put in a new 19mm sway bar. It was a pretty easy install, but honestly I can't tell if the drive is better or it's just a placebo effect.

Then just a couple of simple quality of life things just because:

• ProClip phone mount that I put right over the hazard lights button. No issues with the EyeSight that I've experienced.
  
• Water bottle cup holder adapter to hold my 40 oz hydroflask
  
• Seat gap filler because my phone likes to slide under the seat

The STO-N-SHOW retractable license plate bracket is always recommended when people don't want to drill their bumper but I've been thinking about a different method.

Check out the tow hook on u/tlenzen76's car. You could mount something like one of these license plate brackets in the tow hook location instead. That would only require a hole in the grill and then you could easily replace your license plate with a tow hook if you go racing or to a car show. The plate wouldn't block the radiator or intercooler in that location either.

What do you guys think? I'm already going to install the front tow hook on my car so I can have one when I join SCCA this spring and I'm thinking of taking off my front license plate bracket and filling the holes so I can switch to this method.

The closest thing I've seen here in Britain is when UKIP types stick little British flags over the EU sign on the license plates. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Great-Britain-License-Plate-Union/dp/B000AY68SO

Some people have one or two things in their back window. Occasionally the badge of their football team or something but most often either for a charity or a national trust parking sticker. http://www.roadtripradar.com/roadblog/images/NationalTrust_CarSticker.jpg

I'm in Ohio with a new to me Passat GT (we're ditching front plates in July 2020) and bought some silicone frames that I'm gonna finagle with some zip ties till then. Not the most elegant probably, but maybe it works fine. Honestly I see a lot people with a front plate on their dash too.



Should get them Wednesday, here they are...

That’s a beautiful car, OP. The rims are not my style but I still think they look cool and unique. Here is something you can get to make it look even better, for cheap:

Karoad Black License Plate Frames, 2... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GJKMH7?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

They only adhere to the top. Just get a new plate holder that only has the top 2 holes. It looks a lot cleaner. No need to drill unnecessary holes. Two works fine. Something like this is what I got and works great.

you don't have the tow hook?

*just zoomed in. You have one! So you're elegable to have a cool offset license plate like me!

It just screws in, super easy, with no modifications to your bumper.

Oh jeeze oh jeeze! My boyfriend just bought his first car (we live together).

He needs a license plate frame (this one doesn't have prime but is awesome, this one does and is pretty) and car mats...but car mats are too expensive so I won't link any :P

I'm unfamiliar with GPS/Tablet holders, but I can look into it. Is it 7" vertically? What are its full dimensions?

Screw cap covers for license plate.

I recommend those as cosmetic upgrades, as well as white LED lights for the visor, dome, and license plate. It's incredibly simple to replace and in my opinion it makes it look much better.

A more expensive (but worth it) would be a gloss black vinyl roof wrap.

I bought this one from GrimmSpeed . It's a little pricey but held up when someone hit my bumper lol. I have a 2015 IS250 so it should fit yours

Your solution is security license plate bolts + cover. The bolts will prevent almost anyone from removing the plate, unless they carry a security torx bit set, and the cover will deter 99% of people from attempting to remove the sticker. Who's going to try cracking the cover to get to the sticker?

Checked em all out, thanks! I think the JCR one is the winner for me, here is the link if interested

Here you go

Full disclosure: This is not a photoshop of the original image. The one you linked is quite low-resolution, speckled, and has some weird perspective. I found a much clearer version of an item for sale on Amazon. I took that image, cropped it to shape and removed the holes for you. I have no idea if this is against the rules or not, but if it's just for a YouTube video I'm sure it'll be fine.

They aren't fully theft proof but a good start is these

I had a custom license plate stolen from my car many years ago. Not sure if someone stole the plate to re-use or if they were just being an asshole. After I reported the plate stolen it was effectively blacklisted and I had to choose a new plate.

When the new plates came in I did essentially what some others have suggested: attached it with security screws that require a special tool to remove. There are kits on Amazon like this: https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-License-Fasteners-Resistant-Security/dp/B076PBCQ5F

I got it from Amazon!
