Default Front plate [mounting] solutions?

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before, but for those who live in states where front plates are required, what have you done to attach your plate? I recently had my bumper holes filled and now have no idea where to put the plate. Even bought one of these but would also require me drilling the bottom of the bumper.

You can use something like the RHO-Plate to mount using the tow hook..

I bought a braket from AutoZone for $15 and drilled two holes(concealed) at bottom of bumper where the bottom grill goes (bucked tooth). If you decide to remove plate, you won't even see the holes. The tow option is fine but some refer to it us a "pirates patch." You decide which look you like.
Good luck

Do a search for "license plate" and you will find tons of ideas.

If you dont want to drill holes, Rho plate (or similar) would be your best bet.
