"Nice product. It looks good on the car. California Highway Patrol like it too, they signed off on my fix-it-ticket.
-Charles
"Installation was a breeze on our Tesla Model Y, and it looks so much better than any bracket or mount....great product!"
- Ross
"I consider the wrap a quality product, and installation went smoothly following your directions online. The wrap looks extremely attractive on the front of the flat nosed Tesla Y, especially since no license frame would work or look well on the front of any Tesla."
- Terry
"I finally put on my License Plate Wrap. I absolutely love it! - Ethel
"I one hundred percent love your product. They're better than any front license plate mount that attaches to your grill and can damage it when you're going fast. Plus the License Plate Wrap makes it easy to clean squash bugs off the front of your car. - Geoffrey
"I just wanted to tell you how very pleased I am with the concept of the License Plate Wrap. I received my LPW last week and received the DMV letter a few days ago. My son installed the LPW today and it looks great. Attached are a few pictures of the LPW installed on my Tesla Model X. Please feel free to use any of these pictures in your photo gallery, if the photos are acceptable. If they are too small, I can provide larger files of these photos." - Carolyn
"I just installed my License Plate Wrap on my Tesla Model 3. The process was much easier than I imagined! I've always done the "right thing" but this time I debated whether to put a front plate on or not. I'm so glad I saw someone post about your company in the TMC Forums.
Thank you for taking care of the process with the DMV and for making a great product!"
- Carol
"I have had License Plate Wrap on my truck for months and it has stayed in great condition. I have taken my truck camping, in the snow and rain, 4 wheelin, and countless carwashes!" - Jerry
"We've had the LPW for 4 years now it hasn't peeled, torn or lost its color nor reflective properties. And we've put over 200,000 miles on our vans in these 4 years in all sorts of weather. Our vans take a lot of abuse from rocks thrown up to sand to hot and freezing weather. All the while the LPW keeps on sticking. Most people don't know it's not metal. They can't tell difference. I highly recommend these and specially from Jun cause I trust his quality and workmanship." - Ben
