Default License plate relocation kit?

Can someone point me to a good plate relocation kit for the NX? I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything. Would one for the RX be compatible? The tow bar mount from my previous IS300 was not long enough to work on the NX. Thanks.

I'm from Ontario as well. I think 1 out of every 10 vehicles in my city don't run front license plates, especially if they have a fairly nice car.

I'd consider this option if you're not looking to drill into your front bumper, but if you're looking for that side mount JDM looking tow hook bracket, it doesn't look great on our large grills.

I thought putting it on the side looked worse than on the front, so had it installed on the bumper. On the F-Sport, I don't think that the holes left behind will look all that bad after Ohio removes the requirement for front plates in July.

I looked at a number of options for my F-Sport, but ended up not having a license plate in front.

It's been three years, and no one has stopped me yet.

The plate that goes there is off my previous car so is a little weather-worn, and as I keep it between the center console and the driver's seat, I figured if asked, I'd show it to the officer and say, "it fell off again and I'm trying to determine a way to keep it in place." Or I may just say, "it looks a lot better without the plate, don't you think?" After all, police officers like nice things too.

I'm guessing that about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the Ohio-registered cars I see have no front plates, so enforcement must be low. I drove for 3 months without the front plate, but decided not to risk it any longer.

Haha, I have a ding on that side of my bumper beside the grill so it’s covered with the new mount until I get it fixed.
