And if you need LIDAR pass through, you could probably put some dark LiDAR transparent plastic over the cutout in the frame.

Like this stuff:

Edit: looks like this shop did a custom license plate frame to accommodate a sensor:

Thanks. I did consider just cutting the bottom of a frame that has a section covering the bottom of the plate, in which case the cut portion would not be noticeable. I think that is what you refer to.


The car did not come with the OE front plate mount, so I’d need to get one.
