Default Swedish flag licence plate frame.

I though I would share with you all a creation of my own. When I bought my car, it came with black licence plate frames, front and back. I like the cleaner look a frame of most designs provide, but wanted something original. So, I scraped off the white lettering a bought some blue and yellow spray paint, and made Swedish flags out of the frames. As an additional bonus, I purchased a country of origin oval sticker and a blank black tag and combined them all. The end result is below. I like it a lot. This is on the front, and my NC plate and painted frame is on the back of course. Let me know what you think.
Thanks, JMC
Am I the only one that thinks this looks cool?

I like those and would love to get one for my car to give it a different look, but I don't think I can in the state of NH. I think that I am required to have the front license plate that is issued by the state.

So true S70turbo1999. In my humble opinion, blacked out grilles/trim and emblems are the coolest.
S60T5, you can still paint a frame like so, and have the Swedish flag surround your NH plate.
