I've been pulled over twice already and both times got a warning. In maryland you must have your front tag on the front bumper. Would you guys drill holes in your front bumper? anyone know of a drillless front tag bracket?

Type "front license plate mount" into google. There are a ton of options.

There are a bunch that have it mounted under the bumper with a remote that allows it to pop out and up to be displayed. That way in states that don't require it, you can take it down, and in states that do, you can pop it back up.

Or get the motorized one for $130.

I plan on putting the manual one on when I install my new bumper soon. Gotten one warning thus far because I refuse to drill into my bumper.

no points here in Ohio. Was $100.00 bucks years ago, don't know what it is now, or in your state for that matter. But here is a link for you as well. I have it on my 07. Works great, and no holes!

I had the Craig's Custom bracket...only problem was that it slipped down and was hanging off the lower fascia. At that point I took it the rest of the way off and threw the damn thing in the trunk. I see conservatively 25% of the people here in Ohio running without a front plate.

I am also looking for a front license plate bracket. I am in Texas and a front plate is required, my car is also my daily driver.

Definately go for the flip up and down system. Keep the clean look of your front end and still be legal!
