Default License Plate Frames & positioning

Hi, I just got a stargazer black rx350 '13. Trying to decide on a nice looking frame for the license plates. I was thinking maybe a black frame w/lexus letters? Chrome seems pretty common. Thoughts or pics from folks?

Also, given the great looking grille on the 2013, has anyone tried mounting the front plate a lower position so the main bumper grille is still featured w/out obstruction? thanks

I like the simplicity of just the logo....how does the black frame show against the black exterior....would you prefer glossy black to matte black?

I have a smoky granite mica with a chrome plate w/ "Lexus" written in black pearl. It's exactly the same as the botton one in the photo here. It looks good, silver frame on a dark car with dark lettering. Dealer gave it free at 5k checkup.

Look in my signature it has a link to my build thread. Click on it and go to page 5 of that thread. It has half of my license plate frame in one of the pictures.

You can probably find it at your local dealer and they might even price match it
