I just ordered the setup that Us Mill Works sells.
I have not seen too many tow hook options. This was a straight forward clean setup.

Here's what I did. I put 4,5 inch strips of Velcro on the plate, peeled off the back and stuck them on the front bumper. Works great and no holes and I can still remove the plate, or change plates. Just put new Velcro on the plate. Half of the Velcro stays on the bumper. If you sell the car just peel off the Velcro from the bumper and clean with Goo gone. Not a trace of ever having a front plate. And best of all like I said no holes.
Try it good luck.
Btw the plate stays put and does not budge, even at 100mph.

+1 on US Millworks. It's a quality product. I run without it, but use it for the occasional fix it tickets.

Ordering 1 tomorrow. Stupid meter maid had nothing else better to do but give me a ticket for no front plate. Meter wasn't expired so they had to give me something I guess. $ 114.00. What a rip.

get it signed off by a police officer so you only pay $25. a local PD usually won't care if you just zip tie the plate to the front grille. don't go to CHP.

That's what I'm going to do. It's only $10.00 for the sign off...the last time this happened.

I like the velcro idea and no holes. I would not drill holes in the front bumper at all.
