Default Replacement for front grille plastic

I just bought my 23 IS350 AWD so, I'm in one of those awful states that requires a front plate. The dealer drilled the license plate holder into the plastic behind the grille, does anyone know if they sell replacement grilles/or that piece of plastic behind the grille?

I plan on running a license plate holder from the tow hook spot.

Your Lexus dealer or something like parts.lexus.com could provide you a way to purchase a replacement grill. However, given the fact that you already have that plate holder installed, I would most likely just keep it if I were in your shoes. The asymmetry would annoy me.

I removed the plate holder already I'm just annoyed that there's holes in my grille now.
