What is everyone doing for a license plate frame front and back?

I have a silver silversport and want a minimal black frame that does not hide part of my custom license plate like my Lexus dealer frames do.

Can anyone recommend a source for a good set?

A fellow RX300 owner recommends this source, here's the note he sent me:

"By the way, I just received a really nice metal license frame & cover set from auto-stuff.com. Highly recommended; it's the only baked-on black paint finish that is identical to the RX black exterior."

Thank you both. I'll check Pep Boys. The autostuff.com link looks good also but I can't determine if the price is for one frame or a pair.

Why not call or email them?

I emailed them yesterday but no answer yet. Could not find a phone number on their website.

Clear plastic, Wal-Mart 3 bucks, or the radar picture plastic, gray tint, $15 in all the car mags

I went with no frame and some kind of plastic velcro for the bottom of the plate that I got at Radio Shack... It works for me...

Hello,
I'm a new RX300 owner, and also a new immigrant to the USA - California.

I'm wondering if instead of drilling into my front bumper I can instead procure a 'facsimile' of my licence plate for the front - i.e. a durable decal etc that can be applied to the front bumper without damaging the car, and is far more aesthetically pleasing - ie similar to what classic sports car owners use ...

Can someone please tell me

a) if this is illegal
b) If legal, recommended sources for this, in SF/Bay Area

TIA
James.

Just don't run a front plate, I haven't for over 25 years with no problems even in states that would like you too.

MrSypher

yeah thats what I do for the front, and never had a problem either....
