Anybody got ideas for front lic. Plate mount?
Anybody got ideas to mount lic. Plate in front of car. I was thinking zip tie to the bottom mesh vent. Or a manual retractable lic. Plate holder.

If you don't want to drill holes, just use foam double sided tape. |

Yes. Best to have no plate. If you must have plate, then best approach is to drill holes in the bumper, attach a bracket and screw the license plate to bracket.

If you want no holes in your bumper get a tow hook bracket Or use double-sided tape. If you want holes in your bumper attached the plate that comes with the car and screw in two screws. There is no right or wrong way to do it it's up to the individual

I would just mount it. The holes will be covered by the plate and I'm guessing that plate will always be on the car. It's tough to do (not technically) but once you mount it, you'll quickly forget about the pain. The peace of mind, however, is priceless. Have the mount color matched to your paint.
