I would, but the previous owners plate frame scratched underneath so now I need some kind of frame to cover scratches.

1) True: there is no reason to have "Lexus" on the rear of your car twice. Less is more.

2) Al the cars I have seen with DUB stickers belong to total posers. I saw a Spectra Blue Lexus GS300 with a big DUB sticker on the rear side window just last week. It had super-bling chrome 20" baller wheels on it- not lowered, tinted, or anything. Anybody can go to Rent-A-Wheel and get cheap 20" wheels for $25 a month... add a $1 DUB sticker, and you're a player, I guess!!

Back to the plate frame- TRD, TM Engineering, JP, etc., it's all good. But the Lexus frame is part of what I call the "MLC package" (Mid-Life Crisis). Throw on some chrome-exchange wheels with gold emblems, gold exhaust tips, and your initials in script on the front doors, and you're all set! For ultra-MLC, just add Landau top, a sunroof deflector, and gold pinstripes!!

Agree with SoCalSC4 on the plates. I am not a fan of the DUB plates/stickers/etc.

I think you should go with a plain chrome or a black one.

Dave is exactly right!! the badging already says lexus, see no good reason to put on a frame that shouts Lexus again. For me, I got a chrome frame with a subtle L inside of circle logo in brushed chrome on the chrome frame sort of tone on tone. My personalized plate reads GS4HDRD

Thumbs up License Plate Frames

I've got the 3rd one down and I like it. I've also got the little gold L on my 17" chrome wheels and guess what I like them.

If you don't like it thats okay. I see lots of stuff on this forum that I don't like, but I don't get on here put the people down who do like the stuff

It would get real boring around here, if we all had cars that looked exactly alike.

I don't know what all the self elected gods of good taste would complain about then.
