I don't have any pics yet, but I have a solution if you don't want to put holes in your bumper yet still have a front tag for inspections or if your state requires it. I did this on my '07 GT500 Mustang and my '07 G35 Sport Sedan. You can use the provided bracket and use 2-4 ,12" to 18" long plastic locking cable ties to secure the bracket to the center lower grill. The bracket may angle down slightly, but the plate can then be secured to the bracket with the included screws. It may take a little time trying to snake the ties thru the grill holes and back out to the front, but you should be able to bend the ties a little at the ends to make it easier. They can be secured really tight(don't break the grill by pulling too tight) and will not come loose or rot. I've put over 14,000 miles on mine and the only thing that has happened is they move a little from the vibration but can be easily straightened . There is no noise from the installation. They can be easily removed by cutting(may need wire cutters or snips) and the replaced with no damaged to the bumper. Hope this helps. I'll try to get some pics to post.

I'm sorry Newguy, but you seem to ask the most ridiculous questions most of the time.

Really just look around.
If the law says you must run a front tag, Do It. If not pay the consequences when you get caught and don't complain about it. I don't like having a front plate either, but you are asking for an excuse to get stopped if you run a nakid front, then they try and nail you with other infractions.

Ok, some questions are dumb....!

What kind of issues are you "really" having? You don't wish to run a front
license plate or you have one and you'd like to remove it? Depending where
you live you may be able to get away with not having a front licensc plate,
that's until you get a violation. Then you buy Stillens front license plate
bracket get the ticket written off and remove it again. This way you're not
drilling holes in the front bumper.

^+1. The Stillen bracket is perfect for that. That's exactly what I did with my fix it ticket. I was exceedingly lucky with that one. I didn't get stopped for the license plate. I was doing 90 in a 65 and by the time my radar detector went off it was too late. The CHP officer came to my window, talked to me for a minute, walked around and told me how much he liked the car. He then gave me the fix it ticket for the license plate told me to get a radar detector (I'd hidden it as I saw him coming across the median) and let me go.

You pretty much have to run the front plate around here. They will pull you over for it... Sucks, I wish I didnt have to.

Maybe you don't want to, but maybe it's the law.

It's definitely the law in Texas, though plenty of people skirt it. Some police are easy on it and will let you off, others will write you the ticket. Failure to properly display motor vehicle registration or some such. I forget what the ticket was, I haven't gotten one in a long time, then again, I opted for the front plate on my G35. Last one I got was in my Jeep back in 2000.

Yeah, I actually prefer the license plate like the one on this thread.
