Silicone license plate frames that won't crack, rust, or bore you.

Short answer: better than metal or rigid plastic for most drivers. A silicone/soft-TPU frame flexes with road vibration instead of cracking, won't scratch your paint when it shifts, and resists UV fading better than printed plastic. The downside on cheap ones is that they fade or stretch — that's why MakoAuto uses a tighter-molded TPU with stainless hardware.

We're biased, but here's the honest version: the best silicone license plate frame is one that (1) has flush mounting screw holes so nothing catches on your plate, (2) uses real stainless hardware not plated zinc, (3) has accessory slots so you're not stuck with one look. MakoAuto checks all three — and adds the 13mm charm system no one else offers.

It's a frame, not a cover. Our silicone body wraps the edges to protect paint, but the plate face itself stays uncovered so every state-required character stays visible (no tinted covers, no anti-camera mesh — all of which are illegal in most US states).

Yes — the 'Jet Black' colorway is our bestselling silicone frame. Available as a blank DIY frame, or bundled with themed charms (Streetwear, World Cup, Vintage Racer, Cyber-Pilot anime).

Metal looks premium but scratches paint, rattles, and rusts at the screw points. Silicone/TPU absorbs vibration, can't rust, and takes customization via charms. If you want jewelry-grade metal finish AND the soft-TPU body, our '277 Legacy' bundle pairs our matte-black silicone frame with 3D milled aluminum charms for the best of both.

No — our frames have a slim 6mm profile with no extensions into the plate area. They don't interfere with rear-facing cameras, parking sensors, or backup assist. The 13mm charms sit on the side rails, not over the plate face.

Not yet — MakoAuto is sold direct through this site only, which keeps pricing honest (no distributor markup) and lets us launch new themed charm kits the week we design them. Free US shipping on orders over $49.
