Hmmm... that's not a bad idea. I'd want it to be a real carbon fiber sticker though, which is probably hard to come by.

id go with the CF because it doesnt have the LEXUS logo on it. the chrome looks cleaner, but i like how the CF would play off the trunk L emblem, black roof, and the rear diffuser.

Thanks for your input everyone. I decided to go with PLAIN chrome (no "Lexus" on it). I figured out why the CF doesn't flow right when I look at it. My emblem inserts have a chrome border (the "L" logo), while the CF plate is just pure CF with no border, which IMO contrasts too sharply with my light silver paint. (I think finance consulting is the wrong field for me, I missed my calling as an interior designer).

I'm selling the CF license plate from for anyone interested: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...-from-nrg.html
