Hi all-
The OEM front license plate mount for my 2002 ES300 is garbage. Absolutely no protection for the plate from getting bent up. I recently went through a car was and it was totally ripped off the car.

Part of the problem is that the mount only connects the two screws at the top.

I'm getting new plates and want to encase it in a mount that will protect it.

So far I haven't really seen any decent options.

Suggestions?

I used this mount on my Charger just offset from the center point of the bumper because I did not want to drill holes in the bumper and I did not want the license plate being the "most forward thing" to be damaged by other bumpers.

On the Sienna, I simply took the dealer advertisement license plate frame off the back, turned it backward and put it behind the front license plate to give it some support.

The 4ES has a black holder that does a decent job of holding the plate in my opinion, but then again I don't damage my car by taking it through those brutal "touchless" or "soft cloth" car washes.

Good point. If those brushes can rip a license plate off its mount, think of what they're doing to the paint finish. From what I understand, they're just pieces of rubber. But then again, not everyone has a driveway and car wash supplies to do it themselves. Some areas will even issue a fine if you dump dirty drain water on your property.
