The car wash was killing my license plate, bending it in 1/2 every time. This seems sturdy enough to keep it from being bent.I purchased this holder to secure my rear license plate using four screws with a nice black trim. The plastic bolts included did not fit the factory inserts on my 2006 Ford Expedition. They were too loose and pulled out with little effort. If you have a bumper with blank holes only, the included plastic bolts and nuts will probably work fine. If you have threaded inserts like I did, expect to need metal screws. I was able to pick up a four pack of screws for a few bucks at Walmart that worked perfectly with the holder. Using the Walmart screws with a shallow head, I secured the holder in place and was still able to snap in the included bolt covers. This created a clean, black plastic look around the entire license plate. Overall I am happy with how the final product turned out, but it would have been nice to know the included bolts wouldn't work. I imagine this is the same situation for most people adding a trim to their rear plate.This is a plastic frame with plastic hardware and plastic caps. The everything being plastic might be a downside for you, but the plastic hardware was the reason I chose this set since it is less likely to scratch my paint. As for looks it nothing to special but I'm happy with the way it holds the license plate to the frame. The only real negative is that the plastic hardware caps do not secure in tightly at all. I doubt they would remain attached after a single trip through a car wash. I fixed this by placing a small amount of glue around the boarders, not optimal, but i don't plan on removing the plate anytime soon.Part of the frame was splitting apart upon arrival. Very lightweight item that probably can't take much jostling when mailed in a soft envelope. There's no clear way to indicate this any longer in the "replace or return" menu either, as far as I can tell.This license plate frame arrived very quickly, and included instructions as part of its packaging. It was easy to install, and looks very clean with my car. One negative about the frame is that it came with plastic rather than metal fastening screws--I used the metal screws that come stock with my car, instead. It has held up well in Northastern US winters, which is saying something given the snow-filled winter we've had!I just got these in and installed on my 2003 MR2 Spyder last night. I was only able to screw in the top bolts to the license plate mounts on the front and back of my car, but I still bolted the license plate to the frame for extra rigidity. The holes in the frame don't line up perfectly with my Texas plates but with some minor modifications to the frame, I made it work. It's nice that you can cover up the bolt holes with the included covers. Overall, it met my needs and I am satisfied.My old frame was too thick around the edges and cut off the month/year sticker on my plate, so I got this cheap replacement. I ended up not using the provided plastic bolts and nuts because that would have required me to take the back bumper off. Instead, I had 4 metal screws from the old plate that worked just fine. And the plastic caps that came from this frame even fit over them. Win win.For the price - it is good.It is plastic, with plastic screws (screws are long).I got it to give my front license plate (which is held from the tow-hook point) a frame. It does this, and looks better now than before.Está bien el marco, pero no esperen que sea de una extraordinaria calidad, pero si es justa esta calidad por el precio del producto. El plástico se siente delgado y frágil, pero cumple con su propósito y hasta el momento está puesto y sin problemas en el auto.Queda perfectamente para las placas en México, la estética del auto mejora muchísimo al usar este porta placas en vez de los que te ponen en las agenciasFue regaloLa adquirí a un precio super económico. Es súper recomendable, si eres una persona "quisquillosa" como yo, el hecho de que tenga tapitas para cubrir los tornillos, te hará muy feliz.Es bastante bonito y apesar de no tener mayor diseño es que le da un toque de clase a tu carro a comparación de lo que trae por parte de las concesionarias
