Front license plate mount

How is everyone mounting their front plate? Someone told me they use suction cups in their car and I tried it and it's not working so well.

Used an EVO X plate holder and the rubber fasteners that came with it. Requires some modification to the holder to fit the RA bumper and drilling large holes for the fasteners, but otherwise fits nicely.

I drilled... and it looks great . you can but hideaway front plate mounts you just have to google them. there are some pics of what they look like in the show and shine section cause some ppl have them. They also require drilling, however it is to the under side of the car so you wont see the holes.

I think the sidemount will do exactly what you want it to. Yes, it sucks to drill the holes, but it still looks very clean when done....

I didn't like the fitment of the stock EvoX side mount hunk-o-plastic, so I ditched that for the Beatrush bracket... its a cleaner look, imo

I used 3M molding tape. Works great... Comes off by just removing 3 nylon bolts behind the plate and reinstalls in seconds. I realize it's an Evo but the idea came from the RA forums.

no rattling. It works just fine. Only thing i've noticed is i tend to accidentally bend the plate while working on the car from leaning up against it...
