Default Does removing front plate bracket look bad?

Hey all, quick question. Is it noticable when a front license plate bracket is removed?

As I shop for an LC500, sometimes they have a front plate bracket installed. Thankfully it isn't common as I live in FL. However, I have searched and haven't seen any description or photo of how the front grill looks once the bracket is removed. Due to the design of the grill, I hope the screw holes are mostly hidden unless you inspect close up. If it looks obvious when removed, then I will not bother with LC's that have already been screwed into. I feel bad for all those other models that had two unsightly holes drilled right into the painted bumper.

Thanks in advance.

The bumper is hidden behind the grill and that where the screws holes are. Unless you go looking for the holes, you won’t see it. I took mine off briefly but put it back on since I don’t want to deal with the inconvenience of being pulled over. The car looks amazing with or without and attracts all sorts of attention including cops.
I play by the rules lol.

I’m the same. No reason to give any extra reason to get pulled over or ticketed.
