Default lower front plate bracket

Is there a bracket for a front plate that doesn't attach to the grill. I HATE covering the grill but my state is a two plate state and I need a solution before I get a ticket. Was looking for something lower or off to the side.

My brand new 2023 GX460 came together with a black plastic front bracket for the plate. Didn't yours come together with one?

Not a solution but I got some smoke grey plasti-dip spray and sprayed my front tag so that it is a few shades darker than standard. I detest front tags as well! Just tape over the stickers so they don’t get any on them.

I’ve seen some 4-Runners with a custom mount that moves it lower and off to the side but those are not an improvement imho.

I’m in a two tag state. I didn’t put the front plate on. It is in pocket behind passenger seat. Been this way for over two years and never been stopped… Passed cops, in subdivision, numerous times either going in different direction or sitting on side of road…

VA is different than MO. Loe the state but not the front plate! The VSP have a very strong reputation for being strict.
