Default Facelift IS F-Sport plate relocator

Hey guys, new to Club Lexus and just leased a 2018 IS300 RWD F-Sport in Ultra White, delivery in around a week.

The dealership already drilled the plate so I'll find some plugs to fill the holes in the grille (any suggestions?), but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the iJDMToy tow hook mount on the facelift F-Sport bumper? I couldn't find any information through search for anyone using that mount with the new bumper, aside from the Grimmspeed mount but I can't wrap my head around spending over $100 Canadian after conversion rates for a plate mount.

The one I’m getting is the sly grill plate holder. I need it for when I get sent to Europe this upcoming year. https://www.slybrackets.com/store/ it’s a little pricey but seems like the best option for looks and not having to drill.

I don't actually like the plate in the middle, and prefer it to the side on this particular car.

It was just a suggestion it’s all about preference.

I would totally go plateless up front if it was possible up here in Vancouver BC, but like many other states in the US, it's actually more likely to get a ticket while parked without a front plate than it actually is driving around.

If a particular officer is bored, you'll probably get pulled over.

i’m using a grimmspeed plate relocate. apparently works well if you have the front parking sensors, as the bracket is adjustable.

Got lucky and ordered the Grimmspeed for $58 after taxes with Prime off Amazon, there just happened to be one used "like new" unit available, with "like new" being described by Amazon as open-box but a perfect never-used product. Hopefully it checks out!

no front plate is always the best option. unfortunately, it’s mandatory here in BC.

This is the best idea I've seen for those whose states require front license plates.
