There are some scratches from use, but I think it's a relatively clean item. I have cleaned it simply and polished it with compound, so the chrome-plated parts of the frame are also shiny. You can install it immediately after purchase, and it's an essential part for protecting your license plate and improving its texture. Please purchase only if you can promptly rate the item after it arrives. There may be oversights, but I will prioritize the actual item, so please check the images and consider purchasing.
