Does Anyone know where to get a front tag bracket/holder for is350 F Sport that can mount low on the front? Hate to put one on but MD requires and want to keep it low.
I own this. But have not installed. I have my license plate in my windshield on the far right. Few months and fingers crossed no mention of it from cops.
I bought a set of cheaper F-Sport frames and they lasted 6 months before starting to rust. Don't believe the claims on Amazon from sellers who state they are stainless steel and rust proof. You get what you pay for, so I elected to spend a bit more and get the "official" Lexus F-Sport frames and they're great!! I had official Infiniti frames manufactured by the same company and they never rusted.
Does Lexus even sell these anymore? I'd actually spend the money on this. It looks clean. I got some $15 eBay F Sport frame.
I went through the same dilemma. Shopped tirelessly for a nice chrome frame. They don't make them like they used to... literally. Had one growing up I loved, heavy gauge, mirror finish, high quality. Withstood the test of time and 15 cars. Traded the car in with it thinking I could just buy another. Boy was I wrong. I searched the entire planet, all sites, all dealers, even various brands Audi mercedes etc. No one offers a good plate frame. Still searching.
After many amazon and ebay orders, the closest and nicest one I found (I'm picky) are these https://amzn.to/3iEcwUl (2 hole variety)
They're cut nice, the finish is top notch, however the material is thin. It'll do for now. but this is the design I like. It has to be this very design, including the angles near the screw hole, the width at the bottom. This. Specific. Design.
I hate thin borders, i hate too sharp of an angle at the screw holes.
I'd like something just like this but with Lexus (letters) laser etched, painted black inside the letters, and heavy gauge steel. But the same exact look.
If you want an F Sport frame, nothing beats the Lexus branded one (i bought for $50 a long time ago) but i gave it away with the 3IS when i returned the lease (dumb mistake) would've rather given it to a 3IS owner. I don't think you can buy them new anymore.
^Also I have my plate frame and plate insulated, wrapped, protected, it's all combo'd up, installed nicely to not damage the paint finish on the car, nor rattle. I take the plate stuff seriously! I'll post a pic if anyone's interested how the above plate frame looks.

I ended up ordering a $13 one on Ebay. It's black with "laser-style" Lexus logo in the center at the bottom. We'll see how it holds up. It was really the only one that looked the way I wanted (black frame with Lexus emblem, nothing extra).
Recently went looking for a license plate frame and discovered that the one I have is starting at $219-$400 on Ebay (starting prices). This was on my MGB from the 70's. Yes, this has nothing to do with OP's question, but I thought it was just an interesting piece of trivia. Apparently, they're a huge collectors item.
