You have a lot of different brand stuff and one shop didn't do all the work like you said so that's why I say rock the F Sport cause were in the same boat. We both have more than a few F Sport items.

Chrome with simple L logo is my favorite (nice quality, purchased at dealer), assuming the car still has the bright trim on it.

The chrome one matches your car better overall, but I hate the "LEXUS" and for me that would be a deal breaker.

The darker one (is that C/F?) looks a little bit off but not too bad if that's your preference.

Bottom line is it's just a license plate frame and few will pay attention to it nearly as much as you will. I run REV-01's frame myself but would also consider the Work frame if I ever go back to Work's.

I thought about that F-Sport one too, but I think I'm gonna go for the minimalistic look. Either plain chrome, or plain CF.

Do you have any pictures? My first thought is that it would be redundant with the big "L" logo right above.

Thanks for your input, ugh I'm torn.

I guess I should have waited until I took another picture, but I'm definitely not using that Lexus stamped framed. It would be a plain chrome frame, no logos or text.

Decisions, decisions... (Clearly, I sweat the big stuff).

Go plain chrome. That's what I'm using.

I find it classier without frames.

Wow... 50/50 split decision.

Time to do what the White House does... pull out your coin and flip it.

.
I selected it because it was tasteful, logo was small enough to not be redundant. Quality of frame and finish is excellent.

This poll is not very helpful in my decision making. I wish California had a CF background for their license plates, then I could use the plain chrome frame and it'd be perfect.

^^^ You can wrap the plate background in CF...

But the officers won't be too amused.
