Liscense Plate Frames
Anyone have one? I got one from the Honda dealership, that is chrome and says S2000 along the bottom, but after looking at it, I seriously doubt it fits and therefore I don't want to take it out of the package. Our cars have two tabs on the bottom part of where are plates go, that the plates slide behind. I think this is a problem.
Are those tabs maybe only on 2002 and later models, because I would not expect Honda to make a frame that says s2000 on it, that doesn't fit the s2000. But as I said, it really does not look like it would fit without some modifications to the plate frame.
So does anyone else have this same frame? Does it fit?

I have one that was given to me as a gift.
Mine has 2 yellow rubber caps that slip over the 2 tabs on the bottom of the plate frame. When the tag and frame are secured with the 2 screws at the top, these rubber caps rest on the outside of the 2 tabs on the car where the plate would normally slip behind. Even though the bottom of the plate is not secured, I don't get any rattling.
These are generic frames with whatever name they can think of put on them. I couln't find away to use the bottom tabs that are part of the bumper to secure the bottom of the plate / frame.

If you like the look of the frame, the fact that it tilts out a little bit at the bottom is really not noticable so it doesn't look like some tacked on piece of junk.
If it had not been given to me as a gift, I probably would not have put it on my car but that's me because I tend to like the clean uncluttered look.
Now that I've had it on there for a few months, I'd say it has actually grown on me and I do like the way it looks. I'd take a pic but camera is fried.
If I were you, I'd put it on, step back and then decide. I don't think the dealer is going to have a big problem with you opening the plastic wrapper if you end up taking it back. Just cut it nice and clean with a scissors so that it can be folded over and taped closed if it turns out you don't like the frame.
