I dont know what i am gonna do when it comes time to mount the plate

I think I will just run dealer plates on the rear as long as I can....LOL after that and I get a few tickets I will probably just zip tie it to the grill.

Just an FYI for those of you that run them tuck into the front windshield....Its usually not legal anyway and its really not a good idea to keep it there. If you get into an accident and it becomes airborn it can do some major damage to whomever it hits. Be careful

 

I just put mine in my dashboard.. havent had any problems yet

 

Dashboard worked for me as well

Skene Design (http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml) makes a license plate bracket that doesn't require you to drill holes in the front of your bumper. Instead the holes are drilled under the bumper, generally out of sight. That way, when it is removed, there are no holes visible in the front of the bumper. I have seen a couple M3s that use this product and it looks great. I purchased one for my old E46 M3 just in case I ever got a ticket for no front plate. Never used it as I never got a ticket, but gave it to the new owner when I sold the car in case he wanted a front plate. The quality of the product is top notch and it prevents you from having to drill into the front of the bumper.

The Evo X takes the "Short" bracket size.

Cost is $50 plus $6 shipping.

Here is the write up on it from their website:

No Holes Front License Plate Mount

• Don't want to drill unsightly holes through the front of your bumper?
• Do you want an elegant, unobtrusive license plate mount that looks better than the stock model?
• Do you need to mount a front license plate but don't want to pay over $200 to have a bracket painted to match your car?
• Do you need to mount a plate for a fix-it ticket?

If so, the Skene Design front license plate mount is exactly what you've been looking for. Its sleek, minimalist design mounts under the bumper and makes it all but invisible. A low cost, low profile alternative to bulky, stock OEM brackets, this bracket does not require any holes be drilled into the front face of your bumper. It leaves virtually no trace if you plan to remove your plate at a later date. It also requires no expensive painting to match your car's color.
Two small, 7/64" holes are required on the lower surface of the bumper. These holes are virtually invisible should you remove the bracket in the future.
Fabricated from aluminum alloy, the license plate bracket is shipped complete with left and right brackets and all necessary stainless steel mounting hardware, and 4 stylish, stainless button-head socket screws to mount your license plate with. It even includes the 7/64" drill bit and an Allen key for ease of assembly.
Features:

• 5 sizes fit virtually all vehicles
• comes preassembled, with all mounting hardware
• 5 minute installation can be done by anyone
• clear, concise instructions included
• Euro size fits European and US half size plates

 

even though this thread was brought back from the dead circa 2009, i must admit the skene design bracket is great, i've had it on the car for about 3 months now and would definitely recommend it. I'm at work now so i can post pics later on today, if you all want to see an example on a X

 

Let's see the pictures.

 

I should be getting my first ralliart tomorrow. If Im leasing it am I still able to get the evo mount on it or will I have to come up or use one of the alternatives listed already?
