Default Coolest and most functional Vertical plate?

Hey guys I have seen a lot of side mount vertical license plates but I don't know enough to know who to stay away from in this arena. Any suggestions? At the end of the day I want my rear fender cleared, so I can have it airbrushed. So if that helps in making a suggestion I would appreciate the help.

DK Customs makes a very strong version at a great price. Figure Machine makes a great product too, but it's pricey. I ended up putting mine back on the fender to make room for bags, but, if I were doing a side mount and money were no object, I'd go with the Figure a Machine version with LEDs. You can't go wrong with the DK version though.

Here's the DK version.


Here's the Figure Machine versions.

We can't run blue LED's in the back in Alabama. In fact if it is for a tag it must be white/clear.
