Angry Front Bumper License Plate Holder



So... I moved to Nebraska -- Where they have a FRONT LICENSE PLATE requirement... SMH. I am dreading this, has anyone a good idea about mounting a license plate holder to the bumper WITHOUT drill holes? I have considered velcro and that good 3M double sided tape, but I don't want to eff up my paint either. Anybody experience this issue? Think I might just chance the ticket -- its that deep of a rebellious thing at this point... Thanks in advance. OH, and I am about to go looking, but does anyone know of where to get a good one that will fit my 09 G37s IPL front bumper? The middle slope is the concern...

the show n go plate is really cool and you only drill holes at the bottom of the bumper. you can get it motorized or manual.

I just followed the DIY someone had posted and made my own modifications so the setup was more solid.

^Those are actually a good idea. Curious to see that set up.

Southern California for 50 years and never a front plate. Tickets yes, but no front plate was ever added to ticket. YMMV.

I think others had done this and the fitment was a little off and looked goofy. The DIY measurements are perfect or, better yet, if you can find an ebay model with those measurements you'd kill two birds as they say.

The ones I had seen posted were too long. Sat about 3-4 inches from the bumper. Should post the ebay seller and pics of it on your car. I'm interested if the fitment looks alright. My DIY one looks good but it's a bit of a pain in the *** to take off if I ever need to remove the bumper.
