Hello! I just received my plates for my GS F and wanted to get the front one installed off to the side. The dealer gave me a bracket but I think it's only going to work if it is placed under the front in the middle.

Do you think a dealer will be able to put it up for me off to the side? Will I need to purchase something beforehand? I have attached a picture of what I would like from a Lexus RC F. I have not been able to find a picture with a GS F. Thanks!

 

Those types of plate holders typically use the tow hook as to avoid drilling any holes. Here's one i've seen mentioned on here from Cravenspeed, as an example: https://www.cravenspeed.com/front-li...19-lexus-gs-f/

I dont think this is anything you would need the dealership to install for you.

 

I just picked up an F last week. The dealer needed to install the front plate for it to pass state inspection. Otherwise, a front plate is not necessary.

This is MA, but are you sure your state requires a front plate? Just a thought.

 

I’m using the same one i used for my GS350; fitment is perfect for me. Wanted one that stayed close to body, and able to conform to angle of bumper, and had multiple position options. Wish it had a beefier bolt to connect rod to plate holder but it works for me. I have no experience with the Craven holder but i like that it has a quick release bolt (very convenient if you frequently remove) but appears that plate will have only 1 position. Very easy installation, about 10mins of your day (30 if you’re like me and a try out different positions, and can’t level it on first try).

 

I bought the Craven speed one. Paid about $100. Love it. I’ll shoot you some pics soon

 

here ya go

 

Thank you everyone for the replies.

@18017 Thanks for the pics as well, it looks great! I'll probably purchase that one and just install it myself.

 

Install takes about 1 min. Literally 4 screws and 1 bolt

 

We have a tow hook? LOL

 

Does this get in the way of the parking sensors?

 

No it does not

 

Man I sure am glad Georgia doesn’t require that front plate! ����

 

Just had mine installed. It works well but sits REALLY flush against the chrome trim. I wonder if it'll scratch over time. Also, I figured water would get into the tow mount area so I just anti-siezed everything.

Now I have to carry a bit and tools in my trunk just in case I ever need to remove it for a tow... not that I expect I'll be needing one...

 

We are blessed honestly.
We have available 3 sizes to use, the US, Euro and stick on miniature plates.
