Just sayin'... advertising is a very BIG $$$ business, and people don't realize how they are being used like that.

Having said that, if anybody asks the dealer I buy from and it's a positive thing, I'd be more than happy to point them in the right direction.

I agree.

Dealer stuff come off right away for me.

I ended up with not doing anything. No plate up front so it's just the bracket.
Oh well.

I won't have a dealer sticker on the back of my car. If they wanted me to do that, they'd have to pay me a monthly fee for advertising their dealership. But I don't mind the one I have on the front of my car for now since it's easily removed and they really took care of me nicely. I'll be removing it shortly when I get one with my web on it.

When we bought my wife's Jag the dealer put his frames on the front and rear plates. I immediately removed them. Each time she brought the car in for regular service, they would mount new frames. I would then take them off. It was kind of comical, for a while I had a stack of the dealer frames. I threw them out, but I should have sold them back to the dealer!

BTW, in Massachusetts some years ago they made it illegal for a dealer to mount a plaque on the rear deck with the dealer name unless the buyer expressly permitted it. Obviously that was the end of that practice.

I don't want to remove the bracket. Probably has holes behind it , plus it can act as cushion if I ever park the car on the street.

Any cool ideas what to mount there ? Saw a few Lexus plates being sold on the Lexus site but I think it would look a bit cheap.
I used bumperplugs brand. Below is pic. I think it looks good. Next I will find a method to install plates without using visible holes, and hopefully easily removable plate.

If I had a plate bracket installed on the front bumper from a two plate state I would do something classy like this here. I know they make it in black too which also looks pretty sweet.
