Front license plate options

Did a quick search and found a couple of options. Both look like good but I decided to go with Option#2...

1. http://www.moweraxle.com/licenseplatebrackets.html

2. http://www.usmillworks.com/

Just sharing in case others are in the same predicament of requiring front license plate...

Once you get it, take some pictures and post it.
I luckily live in IN so we do not need a front license place, I am trying to find some nice "stealthy" plugs. I remember once reading something about that on bimmerfest, but I can not find it.

I prefer no plate at all, illegal in NJ...figure I'll carry the standard front bracket in the car in case cops decide to pull me over and just give them the "oh I just got the bracket from the dealer, see here it is in the brand new sealed package" lol should work like a charm

Illegal in NY also but I've been fine for 12 months with no problems, I hope I'm not jinxing myself.

JCS Mount

It's wasn't a difficult decision. I too looked at all available and went with Rolf Stumberger's JCS license plate mount. Great product at $37.50 shipped. He's a member on a couple of forums. You can contact him at - stumberger_r@msn.com

Interesting perspective. I've never seen this viewpoint before on this forum, but it is worth considering... I have FOUR holes in my stock bumper! I keep thinking about having them filled in and repainted, but the stock bracket from Porshce some how doesn't look so bad (in states where you must have the front plate, of course).

I don't want to play games with the law, so even if I repainted the bumper, I would still need to use some kind of mounting solution. Sometimes I figure, if I keep the center mounted plate, no one sees the holes anyway.
