What proclaims loyalty to an alma mater, advertises a brand, and raises money for charity? The answer is license plates and custom license plate frames. Expressing any message has never been so easy. Versatile license plates and frames can serve hundreds of creative purposes and can be made of everything from plastic to 24K gold.

A groovy idea for a charity or non-profit fund raiser is selling a custom license plate. A specialty custom license plate costs a driver $35 extra when originally purchased. The production fees associated are as follows: $10 for the state to make the plate and $5 for the county treasurer's office to process the plate. The left over $20 is kept for the charity or non-profit. Using and selling a custom license plate is not only a creative form of civic pride but also an ongoing source of community revenue.

Custom license plates are also used for advertising. For example, Automotive Dealers can advertise via custom license plate frames. The name of the town and dealership can be proudly shown on every vehicle sold from particular dealership. Custom license plate frames for advertising purposes are normally sold in bulk. The price per unit goes down as more plates are order. The price is also influenced by different custom features like: raised lettering or engraved lettering, frame material zinc, brass, chrome plated, mirror finish, color and font.

Chrome custom license plate frames are reminiscent of the 1950's. The polished mirror finish is a crisp, sharp way to decorate any bumper. At $60, it is sure to catch everyone's eye on the road. Similar to the look of polished chrome is the solid rust-proof stainless steel custom license plate frame. Priced at $23, this cost effective alternative comes with an eight piece mounting kit makes installation easy.

Black custom license plate frames look like a million, but only run $13.49. They come in three different finishes: chrome, deep black or gold. The slick, shiny finish is not only stylish, but also weather resistant and rust proof. These frames also have rear clips to make mounting easy.

Monster Garage created the buzz for custom West Coast Chopper license plate frames. Instead of engraving a generic license plate frame, a mold is actually created of custom letters and designs. Then raging hot liquid zinc is poured into the mold and a solid license plate frame is formed, plated and polished. Car dealerships, sports teams, TV shows, fund raisers, and corporations customize backgrounds colors and frame material. These custom frames must be ordered in minimum of 200 pieces. The price is as low as $5 per frame at Westcoastchoppers.com.
