Well to each their own. Honestly if I could i'd just go without a front plate but I'm not a big fan of tickets...

That's why tow hook license plate holder is best option for both, no holes and can put away for car meets.

I've been rolling the dice since I bought the car a few months back and had the plate wedged between my dash and windshield. The previous owner never mounted a license plate and after seeing how clean it looks, I'm following suit......not to mention I put clear bra on the front half. Well, I got pulled over Friday morning for it, but got let off without a ticket.

Have you considered zip tying the plate to the lower grill? A few have done it and it looks pretty good. I plan to do the same.

Yeah I have my Grimmspeed on order now. Maybe while in states that allow no front plate i'll remove it for awhile haha

is it just me or do these look hideous? just give me a standard center plate over any of these. no offense. if it didn't look so awkward i'd be all for it. my last car looked good with an offset lower license plate mounting... i think it's just our cars here... doesn't "flow" at all.
