Default 2013 ES 350 front license plate bracket recommendation
Hello,
Just purchased a ES350. There was no front license plate set up and after some research, my state do require front plate. I hate to drill into the bumper. Anyone used alternative setup? If not, which regular bracket did you use? Link will be useful.
Thanks

I bought a plate holder that fits just to the left of the grille.

You can always get one that mounts on the tow hook

I had the opposite problem in that I bought a car from a dealer in a state that had a front plate and so unknown to me at the time they had drilled holes in my bumper to mount the plate holder. When I got home to PA where there is no front plate imagine my horror to find the mutilation! Shame on you Lexus!

to cover up my ugly drilled bumper holes I just filled the holes with caulk and then bought some matte black wrap on Amazon and wrapped the center bumper piece. Have to say that I like this look better than the color matched grill.

Well I just got the tow hook kit for license plate... I'm just going to keep it in my glovebox until I get pulled over. I will install it front of the officer. 😂😂

You can buy paint matched bumper plugs to fill the holes.

https://www.bumperplugs.com/

If you do a search, you can also find them on Amazon, eBay, and other sources.
