front license plate without drilling

Is there a way to fix a fron plate without drilling the holes. I saw my car with no front plate and I just can't think about drilling the bumper.

Larry uses a tow hook setup that is pretty slick...maybe he can post some details?

I am thinking very serious about going this route. easy on and easy off...but $80 bucks for a plate holder...ugh...I am sure someone here can "home depot" a solution that is cheaper no?

I would pay for a knockoff version! Just need to know the size and thread of the tow hook and make your own.

You could velcro it on there... just make sure to keep some goo-gone handy for when you take it off. and don't drive too fast

I believe one ticket costs the same amount (at least in NJ)...so it may be worth it...plus every time I pass a cop I am concerned that they are going to pull me over for no front plate so I may just get it as well for piece of mind.

go to your nearest print shop and have them make u a vinyl decal replica that fluoresces of your plate and place it over a clear bra, this hides the screw holes and from 2 ft. and more you can't tell it is a decal. PM for pictures of mine.
