That is kind of what I was thinking - isn't it a bit redundant to have the word 'Lexus' and 'GX470' on the back of the truck and then put the same thing around your plate? I personally went for the less is more approach and just put a thin chrome frame on the plate - no words. I think it looks better that way, but to each their own.
Something like these http://tinyurl.com/89jwt . Nice touch when the screws are covered too.

simple is better
i agree with Donger, reduce redundancy!
I would argue that simple is better. In fact I remove the name plates from all of my cars, a spartain disavoument of material goods, then the machine is only the machine.

Hey Nortel.....
Before I decided on a license plate holder for my GX I did some serious searching.
Below is the one I decided I liked the best.
I went with chrome because my GX is blue with chrome wheels.
This license plate holder is very high quality.
Sometimes the plate holders that have clear covers so the plate doesn't get dirty end up looking kind of hazy or unclear. This clear cover stays as clear as glass , in fact I think it is some type of high tech glass. It's durable and does not scratch. This entire unit is heavy duty and top of the line.
Below are some pictues and links to where you can buy a set.
Good luck on finding what works for you.
=(ZEP)=
Description:
Get Fort Knox toughness and security with Rodeo Drive style. The Prestige License Plate Frame excellently blends with your black, chrome or gold trim, adding to your vehicle’s limited edition style.
Because security is a must, the Prestige Plate Frame encases your plate between a steel back and a thick ABS polycarbonate frame. Plus, for extra theft prevention, the entire frame attaches together with uncommon hex-key screws at each corner. To top it all off, your plate is completely covered by rubber-sealed safety glass that stops moisture, bugs, rust, dirt and registration sticker thieves cold.
Choose the border finish that best suits your discerning taste: smooth powder-coated black, brilliant chrome or vibrant 24K gold plating. Each of these finish colors brighten your plate, adding class and style to an otherwise dull area of your vehicle.
Features:
The Prestige License Plate Frame requires approximately 15 minutes of installation time on any vehicle.
Secures your license plate between a solid steel backing and a substantial ABS polycarbonate frame.
Frames your license plate like a fine work of art with moisture-sealed safety glass.
The Prestige Frame stops bugs, dings, dirt and registration sticker thieves from tampering with your plate.
Entire frame attaches together with uncommon hex-key screws (wrench included)
The Prestige License Plate Frame weighs 2½” lbs.—roughly 5 times heavier than flimsy plastic frames.
Choose from 3 exclusive finishes: smooth powder-coated black, brilliant chrome or vibrant 24K gold plating.

It's been several months but I remember my installation was extremely easy.
I have trouble putting gas in a car..........lol..........so if I did it.....I know anyone can.
I just walked out to my GX and the license plate holder is screwed into all four corners and it is extremely stable and tight.
Maybe I added the two bottom screws, I honestly can't remember.
In my opinion this particular holder looks great on the GX and mine is very securely mounted.

Thanks for the quick response - my GX only has upper mounting points for both plates so maybe I should just add the lower ones as well - although I am not sure how possible that is in the rear...

Your welcome Marc.
My GX is a 2004.
If I had to add screws, I assure you it must have been very easy.
If my memory serves me correct, I may have used small black pointed sheet metal screws that have a little seperate ring around the top that the head of the screw fits snugly into.
When I went out this morning to look at mine, there was no play at all.....both front and back license plate holders were snug.
Good luck!

confused
Ok... Now, I'm confused..... Mind you it has been 7 months, but I don't recall the front having any screws or brackets..... The dealer even asked me if I wanted him to drill into the front bumper since there was only a license plate spot... But no brackets.
Thus if memory serves me correct... My front plate is attached by two screws that were drilled right into the front bumper...
Did I miss something?

re: re: GX470 does not come with license plate bracket holder or pre-drilled holes
I think that was the way mine was also.
I believe there are little circles sort of stamped into the bumper plastic to act as guides as to where to drill the holes.
When my plates came in my delaer just drilled the holes in the appropriate spot, then I added the license plate holder a month or so later.
