Alternative ways to mount front license?

For those of us who live in a jurisdiction that requires them are there any alternative methods of attaching the front license plate that avoid drilling holes in the front of the bumper?

Nice design! A little more work than the gominigo product, but looks nicer centered on the bumper. Has anyone bought either of these products?

I have been taking my chances since 2001 and no ticket yet. I have gotten my share of speeding tickets, but no one has commented on the lack of a front plate.

I cannot think of any logical reason for a front plate other than to make it easier for the parking ticket police. I live in Ohio and have never come across a parking ticket...now my former residence in NYC was a different matter.

So I say, go without

Cops want it as a spot to aim their lasers.

Most likely way we will ever get rid of it in Ontario is by playing the green card.

I never put on a back plat. I've gotten a few tickets for back plat but none ever mention the front..Guess when your missing the back one the front one gets forgotten lol.

To celebrate the early production of my coupe, I ordered the Skene Design front plate. Good thing - the order confirmation says it might take 3 weeks to be delivered. I don't have any need to give the MA police an opportunity to pull me over for no front plate so I'm going with this option. I'll post pics when I get the plate holder and more importantly when I get the car.
