Mitsubishis license plate bracket goes on the left side of the front bumper so it doesnt interfere with air flow to the intercooler.

Put it on the passenger visor. I know it is not entirely legal, but it always worked for me in IL.

^^Driver side of the bumper. Go to Mitsu and get the mounting plate. I haven't put it on yet 'cause i don't want to drill into the bumper

In states that requires you to have a front mounted license plate, just stick with the stock location like the picture above. It looks retarded but where else are you going to mount it.
