Default Where Can I Buy a Front License Plate Bracket

Hey guys...just like the title says...I would like to buy one for cheap. I really don't want to put it on, but Westminster cops have pulled me over twice!...and both times they let me go with a warning...it really gets troublesome and annoying...so the front plate has to go on....

I would probably check around on eBay or your local junkyard (hard to find). I remember seeing a type of bracket kit at Walmart a while back, you might want to check that out.

You can get the OE one from your local lexus dealer, or you can get any screw on one from autozone or pepboys.

the JP one is nice if you dont already have holes in your front bumper...the mounting holes are spaced differently than a regular license plate so you end up with 4 holes instead of 2 in your bumper.

Home Depot + DIY brackets = no holes.

There are a lot of threads in other vehicle sections discussing this. What people did is buy 1/4" strips and made 90 degree bends to them. Drill a few holes and use bolts and nuts. Then they found stock holes behind the cover to mount the strips to. It's not rocket science

I never did this because my car already had the holes drilled.
