MOUNTING FRONT PLATE

My stock bumper doesn't have predrilled holes and I really like that, but I will need to mount my plate @ some point to avoid Babylon(cops) hasseling me. What are some clean VIP alternative ideas to do this? W/o buying a new facia and the JP plate mount. I had zip ties holding it on before and you really couldn't tell they were there. THX ahead!:thelaw:

Make a bracket that bolts between the horizontal slats of the bumper, on the underside of the top part so they're not visible.

They make a bracket that mounts like that, buts it's one of those multi-positional ones. I thought about that, but it seemed like alot of hardware..:shrug:

ok
this is how ive always seen guys over here do it
go get some hurricane straps from your local hardware store. they are long pieces of metal with holes in it
if you can find them they are like a 1/2 inch wide is hte one you REALLY want to use.

Anways, bend it at an angle, put a screw in the bottom of your bumper somewhere (like under the bumper support) and bend it up, bolt the plate to it.

that way you have no visible holes if you want to take it off
