Well, I can not speak to the hitch quality... However, make it look how
you want it to look!!!
I spent about a month looking for a black metal license plate frame that I liked. I wanted something other than the plain rectangle frame. Couldn't find one I liked - bought a "shark tooth" metal frame off the internet - wouldn't fit in the bumper slot.
Finally, I just bought a chrome diamond plate frame from the local AutoZone - looked nice! Took it home and immediately used a Dremel to scuff it up, cleaned it, primed it and painted it black to match the bumper foot pads, and the other black items on the truck (not that I dislike chrome - my bike is chrome and black - but my truck wants to be de-chromed as much as possible
).
So... a month+, total of 3 frames, then 2 days for prep & paint, just for a license plate frame.
So, I would have to say NO, you are not approaching "overkill" just yet.
