Front License Plate
What are people doing to mount their front license plates? I've seen a couple of different things, but am unsure of what to do. I don't want to drill holes into my car unless necessary, but I'm on number 4 of tickets for not having a front plate, and should probably get a permanent solution. Currently I have the plate zip-tied to my grill, but was told, once winters over thats probably the worst place to put it because of the intercooler. Not sure what to do

Leave it zip tied, unless you want to do the DIY and put it into the strip in the middle of the grill
I've been driving with a zip tied on the grill and havn't experienced any problems. I rather lose .00001 hp, then lose $220 everytime for a stupid plate ticket. (can thank NY for excessive surchages and fees) the actual ticket is $50

Had to have my front bumper raplaced and told them to NOT drill holes in it for the plate. Honestly, I've lived in 3 states in the past 20 years and never put a front license plate on. Haven't been stoppped yet, knock on wood. Front plates look like crap anayways. :-P
Luckily where I live front plates aren't required.

I had one of those motorized Plate mounts and only last about one year or so, in NJ its a must have and $54 ticket. I just dont worry about the front anymore and bought one to try and mount on the rear of the car. It always harder to do stupid stuff with personalized plates, just cool to hide the back plate

I ended up buying a bracket from this site http://skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml
If you pop over to my flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/lraynes you will see some close-ups of it on my car.
You do drill two small holes, but they are underneath. Its held up well, its what I ended up with after getting pulled over for no front plate within 2 months of buying the car. Its a simple design that even after removing it, no one would notice unless they were on the ground looking up.
