  • Publication number: 20230368705
    Abstract: A license plate holder includes a base having a connector for attaching the base to a vehicle, a transmissive substrate and a frame. The frame defines a central opening to permit display of indicia on a license plate display region of a license plate disposed between the base and the frame and further defining a frame display region adjacent the central opening, the frame including a rear connector comprising a snap-fit connector to matingly engage an adjacent portion of the base to secure the frame to the base. The transmissive substrate and/or the frame include a connector to removably attach the transmissive substrate to the frame with the transmissive substrate disposed at a front of the frame over the frame display region. A central region of the transmissive substrate is positioned over the license plate display region of the frame and a peripheral region of the transmissive substrate is positioned over the frame display region of the frame to cover the frame display region.
