I dont want to make holes for plate in front bumper ** any suggestions??

I live in NY and need to have a plate in the front. But my car didnt have the bracket for the front plate, and it looks beeter this way, but i dint want ot get tickets.

Has anyone installed the motorized slide out plate?

just take the OEM front bracket, buy 2 - 5x1/4" bolts from Home Depot and bolt the license plate frame to the lower grille. Then attach the license plate frame to the bracket. Voila, no drilling and you still have a front plate.

This is a good idea, but i have the AWD, which has the NON-SPORT bumper.

You can always just ziptie it to your lower grill....a bit ghetto but it works.

Get the Stillen tow hook license plate holder. I've seen it in person and it looks pretty good. Best of all is you can remove it anytime.

I just used a heavy duty zip tie and mounted the bracket to the front grill, then attached the plate.
