Default License Plate Brackets / Mounts

Looking for a really low profile / almost invisible license plate brackets for my 2015 GS 350 FSport.
I live in Texas where both front and rear plates are mandatory.
I hate the dealership advertising on my vehicle - right now I have the plates mounted directly to the vehicle. My top criteria is that it show be extremely thin bezel and plastic/rubber/silicone based, so that they don't rattle while on the road

thanks

You can get rid of rattles by applying a strip of foam tape around the frame and under the plate.(I use window weatherstripping).

I have the oem front plate mount zip tied to the middle of the lower grill, looks much better then screwed into the middle of the front bumper. Fortunatly for me the state I purchased the car from didn't require a front license plate so they never drilled into the bumper.
I also have 1/8 " foam on the back of the rear license plate so it doesn't rattle or scratch the paint.

Thanks. the holes were pre-drilled into the car; so I don't have much option here. The bezel around the license plate is too thick for my liking. Looking for something very low profile. My Acura MDX has something like this , which contours to the bumper and shows no border around the plates. Looking for something similar to this.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA
