I thought about putting in in the lower grill with some type of brace that would have to be made. But in the backseat it remains.
Front license plate mounting
Hello, do you guys have any ideas on a good mounting place for the front plate? there are 2 hole marks but they dont line up for a license plate, i like it with the plate off, but eventually i will probably get a ticket, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

abyars is right. You will need the front license plate bracket which is available through your local Lexus parts dept. The 2 dimples you see on the front bumper are for the bracket to mount to. Once the bracket is in place you can then install your license plate. You might check in your trunk under the cover for the spare tire. Sometimes the bracket gets stuffed in there if it's not being used. Hope that helps.Hello, do you guys have any ideas on a good mounting place for the front plate? there are 2 hole marks but they dont line up for a license plate, i like it with the plate off, but eventually i will probably get a ticket, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I did
Front looks sweet now...
I think in California, if you got your car new, the dealer should have either installed the bracket on your front bumper or given you the bracket and had you sign a piece of paper acknowledging that you turned down having it put on the car. If you decide to go with the bracket, I would certainly go to the dealer and ask for one for free. Granted, it won't be the fancy retractable kind.Hello, do you guys have any ideas on a good mounting place for the front plate? there are 2 hole marks but they dont line up for a license plate, i like it with the plate off, but eventually i will probably get a ticket, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Over the years, I've found that your chances of getting a ticket for this have a lot to do with the specific town where you live or spend most of your time driving. Places that rely heavily on red light or speeding cameras tend to enforce the front plate law more strictly because they need that picture of the front of the car showing the plate and the driver.
I don't know about California law but in Texas as long as the plate is visible from the front of the car, it doesn't matter where it's placed. So you can legally have the plate behind the front windshield, you could have it mounted if you wanted or even duct taped to the roof, they don't care where it is so long as it's visible from the front. It doesn't necessarily have to be mounted on the front of the car in any way. I always thought it was interesting that this was the case but I'm not arguing I keep mine next to my set and every time I get pulled over, I throw it up in the windshield and don't get ticketed for it
