Best plate solution I've seen around so far:
Apparently screw holes are up underneath, not in face of bumper.
Nah! looks weird. Either go plate-less or mount it where the factory says. It is not so bad, and in Europe everybody has one, and do not tell me that theirs, shorter but very wide, looks better.
What I like about it (saw something similar in person) is that the plate seems to be detached from the car even though it's still there.
Standing next to the car it's very important to see the _UNinterrupted_ top line of the front bumper. If there is a plate screwed into it you don't get that clean look.
If the plate is lower _at least_ there are more views of the car that look quasi-plateless.
Stuuuupid front plate! More "required" than ever (don't get your law-change hopes up) because it's necessary for more-effective Laser reflections.
I had to put one on the front of my car, as the local rednecks would hit me with the $250 fine for going without a front license. Of course, the Corvettes regularly get away without one, but then the local dealer apparently has the fix in with the cops.
I tried to drill under the lip of the front bumper, but the device didn't hold, so I drilled directly through. Later, someone made a post giving a site that sells matching plugs to cover the holes properly. I purchased a set. They are tasteful and match the color perfectly. They'll come in handy if I ever leave this state (which is becoming a hell-hole as on July 1 they will institute additional fines for speeding - like an extra $1,000 in addition to the $200 for going more than 20 over the limit). Virginia is copying the law from New Jersey, except Virginia claims it can't or won't impose the extra fines on out-of-staters. They want revenue to build new roads, if you can believe that.
Anyway, it looks like I need to get myself booked onto the local track and pay the $200-225 for the pleasure of driving fast without getting a ticket and paying the hefty fines.
