Mounting front license plates

I tried using the napa part to mount it from underneath.
Unfortunately, the 'L' mount + frame + license plate is becoming quite
heavy and not as aesthetic as i thought it would be.
So, i just decided to go with the lexus bracket and drilling the holes.
I noticed that the lexus bracket is actually wider than the license plate
itself. Are there 2 versions of the bracket ?

If I hadn't thrown mine away I would give it to you for Christmas. I see cars with front license plates and have never noticed the holder being larger than a U.S. plate. Drilling the bumper is sad but if you live in a state that requires a front plate I guess no harm is done.
Somebody must have one they can send you.

Buy a cheap $2.99 mount from Autozone that has the single bar across and 2 perpendicular bars in both ends. I have one of those and bought bolts and washers to extend it further from my car so the plate doesn't touch my plate. It looks pretty good and I can adjust it up or down

I live in NJ and ppl love not putting front plates and I agree it looks way better but it is what it is not the end of the world to have a front plate on a lexus. My father retired to DR and they don’t have front plates so I got him a nice Hillux plate for the front of his truck. To me it looks way worse to have a plate wedged in between the windshield and your dash. If I had an exotic I probably wouldn’t want to drill a hole into the bumper of it but on the other hand if I was a cop that would be one of my peeves I’d go after along with ppl that change lanes without putting on the blinkers.

The ones that get me aren’t the ones that change lanes without signalling as much as it is the ones that change lanes without looking!
