We just picked up our new CT last week. It came from out of state with a front license plate bracket installed. I ordered some bumper plugs but when I removed the bracket found that they won't work because the person that drilled it made a mess. The holes are pulled out so the plugs won't fit flush. There are also two places with a small damaged spots between the holes.

I'm thinking the best option is to try to find a lower profile plate bracket and narrow plate (like the Euro plate size) with the Lexus logo or something similar. That would be better than the big bracket. Does anybody know of a smaller bracket that will fit?

I had the same problem. I got a really nice one. I'll take a picture tomorrow when it's light out and post.

I was gonna do the plugs, but I felt it looked awful.

Since my CT is obsidian I had the luxury of getting a black plate, and I honestly love the way it turned out. I'll post a link of the one I got when I post the picture tomorrow.

Here's a shot I took the other day at the beach. It's a little hard to see, but I'll post another tmmw.

that looks pretty good. it looks like the euro plates fit better on the front bumper.

It's hard to see your plate but it looks like the one I ended up ordering yesterday. It's a half size plate 12x4 . I'm going to try it with the OEM bracket and see how that looks. Our CT is red so this should look pretty good.

Here it is -

Yes, that's the one that I got. I took two more pictures. Pardon the dead bugs on the front, I'm away on vacation

For anyone that wants one this is where I got it... Amazon.com: Lexus 3D name on Black steel License Plate half size: Automotive

You guys don't have to mount the actual license plate? In Ca. we could get a ticket for not mounting.

I got one of these for the front, not as attractive but better then a mangled frame from urban parking:

Front & Rear Bumper Protection, Car Bumper Guards, Bumper Protectors

Im not quite sure what you mean, but in Pa you only have to have the plate in the back.

It depends on the state, it's not a federal law.
