I looked at the other threads for this answer but never really got any recent info...I'm moving to Canada and need a front bracket. I'd prefer to not have holes drilled - so any DIY tips would be great or if anyone has an original one for sale. THANKS!

i have seen people zip tie it to the front grill and i also have seen people zip tie it to the little hole at the bottom of the bumper, however the one that comes with the car requires you to drill holes, when i took mine off i had two holes, thus i just kept it on...

If you ultimately use the OE bracket, understand that there are captive nuts inside the bumper assembly, directly behind two 'dimples' in the bumper skin. In order to mount to those nuts it is imperative that the holes be drilled precisely, centered on those dimples.

I recently removed my front license bracket, since I moved from Virginia to Florida. The OEM bolts are phillips-head and 30mm long. They are just like the rear license plate bolts, except 30mm instead of 20mm in length. I can photograph my bracket if that would help.

Dealers may have a pile of new brackets. My mother's ES300 came new with an OEM front license plate bracket in the trunk.

They used to make suction cup plate holders, but I have not seen one in a long time.

This is my second RX300. I had trouble finding the hidden nuts behind the bumper fascia last time, broke a drill bit, and it was never right. I'm on my second now, a 2002. I very carefully lined up the drill bit with the dimples. No nuts behind it, at least at the dimples. I went ahead and drilled through the thin metal to use sheet screws, if necessary. I would really like to do this correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. (I am using the 52114-48010 license plate bracket.)
