Default Front License Plate Mount Ideas?

Hey guys....

So unfortunately many states require front license plates and my state is one of those. After 6 weeks I finally got my plates and I wanna mount the front one to my lower grill, offset towards the driver's side. Before I zip tie it on, does anyone have any creative routes to take on this project?

I am not interested in the mount that American Muscle or CJ's Pony Parts sells. And I want it offset and not centered.

Pictures or ideas welcomed!

Steve

Try craigs custom brackets.

If Craigs bracket doesn't do it for you then you're going to have a hard time finding one to your liking unless you make something yourself as you just eliminated the top 3 options for this.

The thing is, I don't want the plate centered. So yes, all 3 makers isn't what I'm looking for. I may build one at work.

The way the craigs mount attaches means it doesn't have to be centered. There is a about a 1/4" lip that drops from the bumper steel, the craigs mount clamps onto that and also adds some 3m tape. That lip goes from side to side, so the mount can be anywhere that's within the lower opening.
But why not make your own, it's not exactly rocket science... or just drill your front fascia like the dealerships do.

Meh. I'm seeing how long I can get away with only having my rear plate. Texas needs to wake up and stop this front plate madness. Waste of time and money.
