I just bought some cheap plastic ones from Pepboys or Autozone. Like the tiny semi flat circular ones. Then I bought a bottle of spray paint that matched the color of my car the most and sprayed on a few layers. Easy as that. You don't even need clear coat and I've never had anyone point them out. Hardly notice them

mine use to be attached to my windshield using mini suction cups but then I thought about it. What if I was ever in an serious accident? The last thing I want is a piece of metal become a flying projectile inside the cabin. So I removed my plate completely and had placed in the trunk. Then a few weeks later my cousin who has the same car as me was pulled over in my area and fined. So I bought a tow hook mount and have had it there since.
On the front 
Black plates though on a black car paired with the weathertech plate holder help make it work a tad better though. Never been a fan of the offset mount options as it seems to throw off the balance. That said I would be running plateless had I not had the holes already in the bumper when I bought the GS.

I'm pretty indecisive on what to do since i've never really been forced to put the stupid front plate on.. the weather tech plate holders have some nice color options I guess hmm

OP i guess your situation is different, not having front later is such a non factor to me i don't even think about it anymore. They really are unnecessary on a lot of cars. Cops don't even care about it, I guess in your situation tho again is different because cop cops target it
i wont ever put front plates on the GS, esp the 2016 models with the refresh, a front plate will never look good. Even one of my friends who's always been scared to ride w/ no plates doesn't have a front place on his RC.
and if worst comes to worst, a cop actually notices you don't have a front plate, its a $25 fix it ticket.
rather pay $25 ever year or so then ride with front plates

That's a great look. Currently I'm working in Dallas (where i bought the car) but my house and license says Katy....so apparently i'd have to change the address on my license in order to pick up the plates...is that true? =(

I believe they send the plates to the county or city where the car is registered. Mine were delivered to the Fort Bend Auto Registration office.
