Default 2005 ES330 Front License Plate Bracket
Wondering if anyone knows where I can get an oem front license plate bracket for my 05 ES330. The dealer wants $70 for this! Thanks

Is it a state law in Texas? I personally wouldn't bother with one unless I got pulled over. I think they look horrible on the 4th gen ES. Well any car for that matter.

Was just at Walmart and they had a universal bracket kit in the auto section. Or you could do something cool and zip tie it to the side of the lower grille.

If I see it right, you can get one from http://lexus.sewellparts.com (Sewell Lexus in Texas) for $34.64 not including shipping which I've found has been reasonable from Sewell. Register with your ClubLexus forum name to get that price.

Whats sad is that they just need a "reason" to pull you over.
