The name of a church appears across the bottom, and the motorist can select a few spiritual words for the top of the frame, such as &quot;Jesus Saves Souls.&quot;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">The frames come in various colors with bold lettering in chrome or brass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">Personalized frames are not new.
