License Plate Frames: Chrome or Plastic? - Honda Pilot

**admin** · 05-02-2003, 09:35 PM

Looks like we need another poll. Honda-Pilot.org License Plate Frames: Chrome or Plastic?

smurray · 05-02-2003, 09:46 PM

I'm all for the plastic. 2 in fact. What are you estimating the cost of the plastic and chrome?

tim.s · 05-02-2003, 10:13 PM

I'd like the plastic more because the black looks better on black.

Ziploc · 05-03-2003, 10:26 AM

Plastic will look better longer and is a better value.

i like chrome....goes real well with the silver pilot

Qbrozen · 05-05-2003, 08:29 AM

maybe we should point out that, if going with chrome, we are talking about vinyl stickers on the chrome rather than stamped, right? That makes the difference for me. I'd rather have chrome, but not with stickers. So my vote goes to the plastic.

I think RAISED LETTERS on plastic are cool.

Well, Admin.--and fellow Piloteers--shall we call the Plastic vs. Chrome issue settled....or leave the voting open 1 more week (until May 12)? Somewhere, we reach a point of diminishing return, and I think we may be getting there.

As far as the design--covered in another poll which has been open longer--I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of folks have chosen Design #2. I definitely think we've reached the point of diminishing return here!

But, if anyone takes strong issue with my thoughts on where we stand vis-a-vis the license plate frame decision, by all means let us know!

have you run this by the florida folks...

Do those designs still stand? Those were for the sticker on chrome, right? If we aren't dealing with chrome, will the design change? Are we still talking about a sticker with the plastic?

I assumed we're talking sticker on plastic, and the same designs, but it's good you brought the questions up....Let's get 'em settled right now with the Admin:

1. Assuming plastic frames, are we talking sticker on plastic, or raised, colored letters on plastic?

2. Assuming plastic frames, are the designs still the same as the numbered examples we voted for in the poll?

You mean we don't get to count... again?

Qbrozen · 05-06-2003, 10:59 AM

now that i think about it, if its going to be stickers either way, then why even bother with the frame? Just sell the stickers and folks can buy the frame that they prefer from pep boys or wherever.

If we waited for you guys/gals to finish the count, we'd be looking at making New Year's resolutions to purchase our frames!
