Best place to buy BMW license plate frame?

Aside from the dealer (whose prices are absurd) what is the best place to buy BMW license plate bracket/frames?

I've been thinking about one of these(even though price is still absurd.) It would look very clean.

Nice. I may go that route. Clean and simple.

Check out the Weathertech covers - very clean look, last for years and truly protect the plate. May be illegal where you live as some states don't allow covers (Virginia doesn't, but I have never been pulled over in 10 years with these...) I have an old set on my son's Jeep that are 8 years old and really don'y look any worse for the wear...

The main thing is as long as they are not tinted, or worse, the scrambler type covers then cops dont really care. I get annoyed when I see tinted covers or the ones where at certain angles you can't see the plate because most likely that driver will be an asshat, and will be an unsafe driver blowing through red lights.

My dealer gave me the license plate holder that is black (it shapes and wraps to the bumper), so the license plate isn't mounted directly to the bumper.

On my old car, the plate holder was the same color as my car. Where can I buy the plate holder that matches the color of my car?

No they don't sell tinted and very clean. Even the eight year old one hasn't faded or yellowed. High quality.
