Put it off to the drivers side that way you dont block airflow to the intercooler.

Or you could get one of these hideaway plate holders. The video is of an X but it should fit the IX.

Drive around with the plate down, and if a cop pulls you over, put it back up. He'll have quite the surprised look on his face.

I hate it too, but you have to obey the law or else they'll keep going after you LOL. Get a bracket which mounts it on the side of the front bumper.

OR..

I have seen someone put it on the backside of the passenger sun visor and leave it flipped down so it always it showing through the top of the windshield, although I doubt that is legal.

vinyl sticker-fake plate is also called fictitious plate and carry heavy fines/possible jail time. would be cheaper to just try your luck and drive without front plates.
