What is everyone using for their license plate brackets and covers on the trailer hitch?

what part of ny? i live in northern nj but work all over nyc and the surrounding area..

i ordered silicone frames on amazon.. won’t rust, won’t rattle.. hated having the dealer frames on it.. also got rid of the dealer sticker on the back the day i got it.

@Wing42 how does the Ford Performance bracket look? I cannot find one that does not also have the oval Ford logo...

@turntablekinetix I am in Upstate NY- I have been thinking of the silicone ones- so far so good for you? As for the dealer logo, I was lucky that my dealership puts their logo on the plate brackets, not a sticker on my car!

Bracket looks good and it is made well but it does have the Ford Oval. Screenshot_20200429-222209_Chrome.jpg

Just basic black frame here from amazon, with black stainless screws and a black rubber plug. I'm boring in this regard. I like the idea of a Ford Performance frame, but the ones that I saw looked like a dealer free plate frame to me.

I like the Ford Performance if it did not have the Ford Oval also...

If anyone can find or has an ST hitch plug/cover, I'd love to know where to get one. Thanks!

Ditto- I cannot find one yet. Maybe someone does custom work?

What color is the bottom plug, and where did you find the color code for it? I have the magnetic ST and it seems the lower color is the same on all.

I got a plug from the corner auto parts store. Just a black one matches pretty good.
