Review on GTP Front Bumper Tow Hook License Plate Mounting Bracket for Lexus 2006-2018 IS250 IS350, 2008-2013 IS-F, 2015-2018 RC200t RC250 RC300 RC350 RC-F, GS350 GS460, CT200h, RX LS by Manni Diaz

So the product has potential, but of course it's not great right away. I have a 2013 Lexus IS350 F and it stuck out too much in the evenings with a little spacer. I ended up attaching a small spacer to the main stem and then using a hacksaw to cut the spacer to the end of the main stem threads. So basically I had the full length of the main rod with no threads on the end and a clean flat surface which I then drilled and cut to attach the plate mount. I gave the plate mount a slight bend to match the bumper and then attached a plate which I also bent to fit. I used locks on all threads and straightened them with wrenches. The end result is pretty good, but that's how it should have come from the factory.
