EMPI has been at the forefront of the VW aftermarket scene for decades, and adding this officially branded frame to your front bumper provides that unmistakable vintage California Look that enthusiasts crave. Whether you are cruising to a local meet or prepping for a major show, this frame ensures your license plate is secured with a touch of iconic style that honors the long-standing history of the brand that helped build the VW community. It is the perfect way to tie together your exterior aesthetic, especially if you are already running EMPI wheels, shifters, or engine components.

Constructed with durability and aesthetics in mind, this front license plate frame features a high-quality finish designed to withstand the elements while maintaining its brilliant luster. The prominent EMPI logo is a nod to the performance-oriented roots of your Beetle, Karmann Ghia, or Bus, signaling to every onlooker that you value quality and authenticity in your build. It serves as the perfect finishing touch to any front-end assembly, bridging the gap between functional hardware and custom accessory. Don''t settle for a generic, flimsy plastic frame from a big-box store when you can bolt on a piece of VW history that is specifically engineered to complement the unique contours and styling of your air-cooled pride and joy. This frame is designed to fit standard USA plates perfectly, ensuring a clean, centered appearance on your front apron or bumper.

PRO TIPS

1. Prevent Corrosion with Stainless Hardware

When installing your new EMPI license plate frame, we highly recommend upgrading to stainless steel mounting hardware. While the frame itself is built to last, standard zinc-plated bolts can quickly develop surface rust when exposed to road moisture and salt.
