RX400h Front License Plate Mount
Hello the people of Club Lexus!
This will be my first post here, and I recently purchased a RX400h. The front bumper is currently drilled with two holes, and it is wider than a regular California license plate. Is that normal or did the previous owner drilled the hole him/herself? Any place that I can pick up a license plate bracket without putting more holes in the car?
Also, anyone know how much Lexus dealership sell floor mats for?body{zoom:135%!important;**

I think the mount is held to the bumper from the holes that are wider than the plate mount points. See here

The 400 part is slightly different but the picture above gives you an idea of what is going on.

Also, check your hatches for the part. I have bought many used cars where the bracket was tucked away in the trunk.

Just checked the trunk for anything that may look like a license plate bracket, but did not see anything. I guess the previous owner just took as much things away possible from the car before sending it off to the auction.
Previous owner also registered the car in the state of CA (which require both front and rear plate)... body{zoom:115%!important;**body{zoom:115%!important;**
