I think it's from a company called "Hide a plate", but can't find the website anymore. They probably have different companies that make similar products now. I saw an IS-F with it but mounted all the way on the bottom of the bumper.

^stonefan52- that mightve been me. i didnt wanna drill any holes, and i wasnt too sure about installing it within the lower grille, so this was the most ideal look for the F. the only downside is that it scrapes pretty bad against inclines that aren't even that steep.

looks great man! i got the non motorized version because I didnt want to create a hole in the middle of the lower grille. i agree that with the plate visibly shown, it does look like its tongue is sticking out. as a precaution, i noticed that when the plate flips up, it comes in contact with the bumper. not sure if its a problem for you, but id get some thin foam and glue it behind the plate holder so that when it comes in contact with the bumper, it wont be hitting it. great job dude!
