Our GMP Performance plate frame is made of 100% stainless steel that has been brushed and then powder coated with a gloss black finish. The plate is then laser etched to remove the powder coating leaving the GMP Performance logo script. Our plate frames comply with the recent tag frame laws being passed in all 50 states. These do not cover the license plate face and are designed for those states which prohibit covering the state or county name, or require the registration stickers to be located in the lower corners instead of the upper corners. Ask a sales associate today for these new plates...they are free with any $1,500 order.
