I feel for you guys that have to have the front license plates. There should be an exception to the law when you drive such a beautiful car!! LOL

I like it. But it sounds too much like "come on dude, don't you know who I am? "

In my unending quest for plate frames I found these... don't know how long I'll like them... I just don't know what to do with the bottom 2 holes, but I love the clean thin concept...

Let me know...

so has anyone confirmed if we can go to any lexus dealership to get those plugs?

i wanted to purchase to grimmspeed relocation kit, but if i can't plug those holes, then there's no point to getting the relo kit.

i'm sure there's other alternatives to plugging the holes, but i would prefer the one from lexus as the grill is painted a specific color.

If you guy's are still looking for bumper plugs. I found a website where they sell one. It's a bit pricey but I'm pretty sure you can look for one on eBay!

Also has anyone used these bumper plugs and can confirm they fit the same size hole for the F Sport? Hope it's a direct fit and doesn't require me drilling to get the appropriate size.

have you tried cutting off the bolts and just hot glue the bolt heads onto the lower plate holes? the design of that specific bolt would allow you to do that since the circumference of the bolt head is much wider than the plate holes.

you can do that, which might be a bit more labor involved, or go to the arts and crafts store and find some white or black flat round plastic tabs and glue those on.

Nice! I think your car doens't look good without a front license plate!

California plates are nice and clean... unlike some states that insists on putting silly graphics and fonts on them.
