No Drill License Plate Mount

[lndcrsr]

Has anyone found a no-drill solution to mounting the front license plate? I've used Carbonio for other cars in the past, but reached out to them and they indicated they don't have anything that would fit the GX550 yet.

License plate plinth delete

I would like to remove the front license plate plinth to attach the plate straight to the car for a clean look. I have purchased an acrylic slimline plate that measures 372mm wide and 100mm high. I dont have the car yet and was hoping to get some dimensions from this forum. I believe there is...

I was in contact with Sto n Sho about making a mount. I sent in some measurements for him to use the 2 holes on. the trim underneath the bumper.

Just don't put your front license plates on. Seems like Colorado has a bigger problem with non-registered vehicles anyways.

I am interested in what you end up finding though.

That’s my plan. I’ll roll with no front license plate until I have to.

Thanks, I'll reach out to them also - hadn't heard of them before

They're pretty aggressive at ticketing for missing front license plates if you park on Denver streets

No front license plate gives the cops a reason to pull you over, in most states

I have been driving without a front lic plate in Texas for decades....never a problem....so far.
CO seems rather interesting, you can smoke weed...no problem! But, you better have your front license plate!!!?

I think the best solution is to make some type of S hook bracket that you can quickly slip on in between the slats on the front bumper. Some type of tab that will allow you to hold the plate 90 degrees to push forward and then drop it down flat to the bumper. If you forget and drive off with it, shouldn't fall out either. Anybody have a 3D printer to try it out?

I found Sly Brackets that claim to fit the new GX: License Plate Bracket for 2024 2025 LEXUS GX550

Anyone try these yet or have experience with the company?

I used a Cravenspeed Platypus - The Platypus License Plate Mount for Lexus GX 2nd gen URJ150 2010 to 2023

Good to know that fits, and beautiful truck!

I also heard back from the Carbonio folks mentioned in the original post and wound up ordering the mount from them. A "Nelson" replied to my submitted pictures with the snip below. It shipped today, so I'll take some pictures once it arrives.

We do indeed have a no-drill license plate mount that will fit the GX550, I have personally installed one myself on an identical GX550 as yours and can confirm fitment... We just haven't posted it on our website yet (but will be soon).
If you select the mount we offer for the Honda Accord, this will be the same mount that works on the GX550... It will attach the lower painted grille.

Here is the installation instructions to give you a better idea as to how this mount installs and looks:

I just ordered this last week & should arrive in the next few days. Will report back.

Looks like you could use any generic plate mount plus a couple of offsets with a 5-6mm hole in them and a couple of zip ties, no? I could probably 3D print a one piece something or other that would work too. The test would be how it holds up at 100 mph.

I have the Sly bracket BOZZ and it works well.
