Looks nice! Dealer wanted $75+ I believe. Settled for the Fsport polish one.

Very tempting... Much more distinctive than the dealership-provided frame I have on there now.

To me, it’s like wearing both a belt and suspenders, considering the F-Sport logo is already displayed on the trunk lid. I prefer no frame at all for a cleaner look.

Well, if you have a front license plate like I do, I think it actually looks better with the frame. Certain frames just don't look great on the front, but it doesn't look so good without one either. The carbon fiber would be a nicely subtle touch IMO.

14 models didn't come wth the f sport badge, but even if I had a 15+ I'd remove it cause IMO it's ugly. I only have the Lexus logo on the rear

At least we agree that those cheap frames the dealer puts as advertisement should be replaced.

I've got the black Fsport frames. They are $35 each I believe. No front plate = save money. lol

My buddy bought me the Lexus version of the F-Sport frame for Christmas, so I put it on.

I think it looks kinda tacky with the other F Sport badge about a foot away, but it's my wife's car, and she doesn't want me to remove the badge.

I don't have a front plate =)

Thumbs up

I picked one up 5 months ago and it's still looking new. There's a few cars with the same plate here in LA. I saw a GS350 with one at the Lexus dealership.

MY buddy bought the exact same thing for his audi with an audi decal. For those wondering. You can buy this plate and remove the F if you chose. You could replace it with F-SPORT, LEXUS, IS350 (im considering this) or leave it blank. It's nice quality and cheap(ish). I cracked mine a bit when install from over tightening but you cant tell.

Default Front Tag Bracket

Does Anyone know where to get a front tag bracket/holder for is350 F Sport that can mount low on the front? Hate to put one on but MD requires and want to keep it low.

If you don't want it on the grill, the only place is getting a bracket for the tow hook on the drivers side bumper. (Where that little square is) Its illegal not to have a front plate in most states, but I just tell cops I have the bracket coming in the mail lol I like the look of no plate

Check out Spec One's build. His idea for the front plate is awesome. If I had to have a front plate on my car, I'd do what he did.
