This is the one i'm using. Make sure you secure it to the bottom of the bumper. I've lost the bracket with my license plate on the highway because I didn't secure it. Looks great and i pull it out when i park here in NYC to avoid a parking ticket.

I've seen a IS with magnets in the front plate. Do anyone know if its possible with the F-sport front bumper? It was on the non f-sport bumper.

i got stopped for not having a license plate on mine. so I bought the grimmspeed license plate as some of the people here. Many lexus dealers have an "ebay" price since they also sell there. see if you can find a dealer close to you, call them ask them for the original price which will be about 30-40 more than the ebay. And then let them know that you saw the listing on ebay and you want to buy it at that price. make sure you have a screen shot of the posting and go to the parts department. you will save some money for sure.

SF traffic cops are relentless. If they pull you over, it's not going to be just a fix it ticket.
