Default License plate relocation recommendations?

So, the thing behind my bumper that the license plate bolts onto just fell inside my bumper and there's no way to fix it without removing my bumper. I really don't want to remove my bumper because my bumper is an aftermarket replica and it'll be a real pain to redo the fitment again, so I'm planning to just plug the holes and relocate my LP to the tow hook or mount it somewhere around the grill (not interested in zipties..). I'd like to ask you all for product recommendations that will make my LP look flush with the bumper, as it seems a lot of the brackets that screw onto the tow may not fit well with the bumper, have an ugly tilt to the side, etc. Thanks guys!

Here is mine,

I think it does block some of the flow to the rad though, I will be getting a smaller plate soon but I do not track the car or drive it hard enough for long enough to have a negative effect!

Your bumper cover fitment will be pretty much perfect if you remove and replace it, there is minimal adjustment on these covers because it is a Honda.

If you were happy with what you had then just repair it, if not then mod it to your liking.

Rho-Plate is definitely an awesome product, I'd probably say go V2 as the original would occasionally start drooping on me.

Don't run a front plate. The car (and most cars) look far better without it. $25 fix it ticket if you get caught.

Depending on the state.

$25 fix it ticket + ~$60+ in court costs. Then I've been lucky enough to get two license plate tickets in the same week so I went to court to fight one of them. Ended up with a ~$50 fine for the first and $100 for the second since I had previous no license plate tickets... So then I was like $200+ for two tickets.
