Default Front license plate

I have a 2004 mustang with a new front bumper. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to mount a front license plate without drilling holes in the bumper.

if you or anyone you know has access to some metal working tools make a bracket that screws up underneath the bumper and bends around out front. or you could 3m tape it, or just stick it in your front window on the passenger side dash.

Yeah, 3m double sticky tape is your best bet. Or like l33t said, pass side dash.

i say run without one untill you get a fix it ticket.

You dont need a plate on the front in some states, but if your going to put one on try double sided tape. It may fall off if you hit a bump hard. I just wouldnt put 1 until you get caught

I'd say either double side tape it or build a bracket. Pass side dash is still illegal at least in NY, you might as well not have one. I run without one 95% of the time, cops wont usually stop you for it unless they are bored out of their mind or u get stopped for something else and get that ticket also. In NY no front palte is not a fix it ticket...

WAIT,

best way if you hate front plates or dont want to **** with the looks of your bumper (read about this a while ago)

get some big earth magnets (?) and like epozy them to the inside of the bumper cover, now just stick your plate to the outside and the super strong magnets will hold it there, if you dont want to scratch your paint put something behind the plate, this way you can take it off for shows or whenever you dont want a front plate

That's actually an awesome idea, I may have to do that. Only thing is it makes your license plates easy to steal.
