I dont want to make holes for plate in front bumper ** any suggestions??

I live in NY and need to have a plate in the front. But my car didnt have the bracket for the front plate, and it looks beeter this way, but i dint want ot get tickets.

Has anyone installed the motorized slide out plate?

just take the OEM front bracket, buy 2 - 5x1/4" bolts from Home Depot and bolt the license plate frame to the lower grille. Then attach the license plate frame to the bracket. Voila, no drilling and you still have a front plate.

Get the Stillen tow hook license plate holder. I've seen it in person and it looks pretty good. Best of all is you can remove it anytime.

I just used a heavy duty zip tie and mounted the bracket to the front grill, then attached the plate.
