Why not just mounted where is supposed to be mounted, in the middle of the front bumper 
? Do you have an aftermarket bumper?
I really don't see what the big deal is about a front plate. Yes it looks like total crap but just take it off when you arrive at a show or whatever. Does it really bother people when your driving the car to know that you have a license plate on your front bumper? Like others have said, it's the easiest BS reason for a cop to pull you over and then get you for something else like tint, exhaust, being to low, etc.
I'd also advise against the dash board mounting. About time you get into an accident and that thing starts flying around the cabin....watch out
!! I know that in VA they can pull you over for an improperly mounted license plate. I've known some ricers that get pulled because they have it mounted on their passenger side sun visor and just put the visor down while driving, but they got a ticket for that too.

I do agree with you on the dash being a REAL BAD IDEA for the plate. Its just asking for a free scalping or worse.
I was thinking of doing something like this maybe....

No too hard to find but if the car is lowered I doubt you will have space up front for the plate to come down without rubbing or getting yanked off by the road.

I keep my Plate on... NYPD, NCPD, SCPD, plus State Troopers and MTA police all see me daily.. and probably don't like me anyway... besides my tinted windshield is already pushing my luck.

Good things for all you guys that doesn't live in Cal. Cuz it a b****, you get pulled over
just about for everything..I'd rather leave mine than getting pulled over. They give you no excuses for not having it on. I got pulled over at the LAX a while back for not having
front plate....Brian, just don't come to Cal...hahaha

Connecticut's law is it has to be on the outer most point of the bumper. On my first 4 cars I didn't even care. The integra was mounted off to the driver's side, because it's JDM YO (LOL). Unfortunately, my GS430 had the front plate drilled on it already. And my picture in my attachments is what I have to say to that LOL. Factory Lexus Vanity plate FTW
