Default ISF Front license plate bracket wanted

Anyone in the Los Angeles area that has a front license plate bracket for sale would love to take off your hands. Thanks!

Speaking of front license plates... I know its California state law to have one and I'm just waiting for the day to get cited for not having one, but what are people using as front license plate brackets/holders? OEM? Something through the lower grill? I would hate to drill two holes on the front bumper.

If you're looking for something with a little extra pop, vipautosalon.com has a couple of carbon fiber ones.

Its the grimmspeed bracket. Fully adjustable to multiple positions. i think it cost about $70. Its nice to be able to take it right off and have a clean front end with no holes.

I just purchased one from a local stealership in chicago for $55. I'm not sure how much they usually go for. But I found one on craigslist (http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/3022386928.html ) for $15. To ship it will probably cost $5. From what I know, the brackets for the ISF and IS models are all the same.

I think there is a small difference. Our bumpers bulge out more, so i think they send you a longer bolt with spacers. mine came with 2 spacers and i only used one for a close fit.

You might wanna check around your spare tire area. The destination of each car is unknown @ the port of entry. All lexus' come equipped with a front plate bracket for the Pre Delivery Inspection.
