How atroq Frames Stay Compliant in Connecticut
atroq frames in Connecticut are engineered to comply with all display requirements. The frame's recessed sticker windows keep renewal stickers visible. The frame's thickness does not obscure the alphanumeric serial, state name, or the issuing jurisdiction. atroq's universal mounting fits Connecticut's standard 6 × 12 inch passenger plates. Since Connecticut requires both plates, customers typically order frames in pairs.
