Front Licence Plate Mounting
Is there an alternative way to mount the front license plate as opposed to screwing it into the bumper??????? Maybe an aftermarket bracket?

That seems like the best way to do it. Your first pic threw me off hispeed, how the door opening only lit up some of the car. I thought it was a kit lmao

We also have a complete kit that will allow the use of the factory tow hook to mount a plate.
Makes it easy to mount/dismount whenever you'd like.

I have the stillen but don't plan to use it unless I get a ticket. I have a pic but iPhone won't let me attach it.

Yeah I know. I found it on eBay for $50. I've seen people make their own though.

The post is a solid billet piece.. expensive to produce, and works exceptionally well.

I have the stillen one. Bought it after getting 2 warnings for no front plate. I thought it was too expensive also, but oh well.
