Default Front License Plate

I know many of us don't like to mount a front license plate due to aesthetics. Also some of you may have an expensive front bumper and don't want to tarnish it by drilling holes for the front license plate. My questions is if there is any other place to mount the license plate that wont require to drill of do anything to the front bumper? I was thinking if any company made a bracket to mount the license plate where a tow hook would go. Has anyone done this?

just make a right angle bracket so the other side would attach the underside of the overhang.

don't try taping it or other funny thing, they get alot of force pushing at them goint 80 mph

I just got the amuse style bumper. The plate bracket screws into the underside of the main opening and justs forward. I had them angle the bracket so the bottom of the plate angles back into the opening a little bit.

Didn't want the plate mounted on the front like OEM.

Don't put a front plate on. Photoshop a new "receipt" every month that shows you just ordered the front plate mount from Honda in case you get pulled over...

I like it. Angles the plate down and does hot have the big bulky bracket. It's clean and simple.

I'd rather not get put on the side of the road and fight a ticket. I just bought a cool plate so nobody would comment on it

You mean the simple hinged bracket that folds in when you drive?
