Default Check out my new license plate frames

I searched high and low to find the perfect license plate frames. Looked into stainless steel, brass, powder coating, chrome, designs, 3d graphics and pricing.

I ordered these 2 off amazon.com for $77 shipped.

Quality is amazing, I am awaiting my new vanity plates and will take some before and after pictures!

Interesting. I like the matte black background, but, I think I prefer the lettering on my one which has Lexus in 3D with Black frame and chrome lettering, like the frame that is second from bottom in this pic.



I think an F-Sport 3D frame would be nice. But I decided against the F-Sport plate frame because it's just another thing that signals to cops that you are a racer. I want cops to think I'm a battered salaryman who's rushing home so his wife won't yell at him!

My favorite would be if you could get one similar to my pic, but with Black Pearl lettering on a Matte Black frame.

^^ I have the top one, chrome with black letters on the back and the front, I modified the front tag and frame to fit in the lower grille so I didn t have to put holes in the bumper

Do they offer custom? I'm not sure, they have a lot of selection in their storefront on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html...A1K69Y039FUN5P

In regards to the F-Sport comment, I think the general public has no idea what F-Sport is. M series, Type R/S, S etc are more commonly related to high performance. I think the 4.3 litre V-8 and 20 staggered wheels give me up to the cops already.

I was going in the direction of those 3D graphic plates but opted against. Dirt and grime always get stuck in the LEXUS, 430 and L badges and is a pain to clean. I figured it'd be the same on a 3d plate.

I was able to custom order one of these 3D Lexus frames with Lexus in black pearl on a Black frame. Same price as the regular one.

Nice - Make sure you leave the front bumper clean w/o a license plate.

Don't really dig F-sports tags on non F-series cars. Like BMWs with "M" tags on non M series BMWs. I got the chrome 3D Lexus license plate frame from Sewell and plateless in the front (looks cleaner). Yeah, some people don't like chrome, but unfortunately, the GS has a lot of chrome accents and I would prefer it to match. The other color finishes are nice like black pearl emblems, but without changing the other chrome accents (grille, headlight, window and lower door trims, overall they don't really seem to match well to me.
