How about using a plate with a lexus logo on it...i've seen those at aftermarket parts store....

It does not look too bad...looks really good if you have chrome wheels to match.

But everyone has their own tastes I guess...

Arrow i heard thats even illegal

putting your plate on the dash is illegal too! if they really want to they will give you a ticket, in california its 25 bucks if you just pay it, or 10 bucks if you slap the plate on and get the ticket signed off. the real problem is it gives them an excuse to pull you over in the first place...

yup, technically it's illegal to just put the plate in the front dash too, but sometimes they let you go.
