Mine is a custom plate that says "The Real Dr. Phil".

The LED frame is cool, but is a little cheesy. It's something that would go on a rice rocket, not a Lexus.

Better to go with the Lexus frame.

I have smoked covers over my front and rear plate - I liked that look better than a frame

I have the one from your first link, 3D Chrome-on-Chrome. Goes very good with my Silver color, and it comes with screw cover caps. I actually got it directly from dealership, their cost more but has a lifetime warranty.

Yep.....I've got the carbon fiber one too from the same place. No bolts or screws showing. Good quality, too.

Silly question, is the $49.95 for that nice carbon fiber frame each or for a pair? It's not at all clear from their web site.
