Default Strapping the front plate?

I am in the works of getting my new USB F-Sport IS250 and one of my requirements is that there must be no front plate drilled in the car.

Located a dealership which has them without them drilled - my question is for the users who have managed to put the front one without, how do they do it? Originally thinking of the lower grill to put it in there, I took a look then compare to my plate but it does not fit even thou I seen a picture of it in there.

My own idea is possibly using the bracket putting padding on it on the plastic contacts which contact the bumper itself, and then just strapping it between the upper and lower grille to secure it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Zip tie to lower grill I've seen a lot of people do. Or you can either buy the RHO bracket or the cool slide out one, they are expensive however check the DIY RHO bracket

Mine look like this... but if the cops don't pass it, I'm going to get a rho-plate.

I have the bucked tooth positioned plate like the first pic. but I bought the braket from Auto Zone $9 a while ago. NO, it does not touch any of the spoiler/bumper because it sticks out about an inch. The other pirate patch plate, somebody posted the "Do it yourself" which cost him $5.Find it. it is easy to do for less cash.
