I use a "I RATHER BE SWIMMING" license plate frame from Sports Chalet right now.

But I just got the same frames as you, Evitzee.

Can't wait 'till my car gets fixed so I can put them on and take pics!

So far, they look good...even in the wrap.

Texas law prohibits any obstruction of the license plate. Sterling McCall seems to have complied.

I dislike this frame. I think the old one with the dealer name on the bottom and "Lexus" on the top looks much more classy.

I have a UC Davis Engineering Alumni frame for the back.. Aggie Pride! I'm not sure what I'll put in front though. I didn't want plates up front, but the car came delivered from the dealer with the front plate holes drilled already. The holes are really ugly if I leave the plate holder off. Anyone have a nice front plate place holder? Or a nice way to cover the holes?

Personally I absolutely refuse to use a license plate that advertises the dealer. They don't deserve free advertising, it clutters up the look, and they are usually cheaply made. The first thing I do is remove those frames and throw them in the trash. You are correct that TX prohibits the obstruction of the plate, but that is why the carbon fiber frame I use is so good. No bolts/screws showing, looks great, and no obstruction of any of the words or letters on the plate. They are not cheap, but hey, it's a Lexus.

I personally like my dealer plate frame. It doesn't flap and doesn't obstruct any lettering.
