Rather than drill holes in the bumper, use the tow hook socket:

For S4+ cars, I made one that slips two flat blades/arms into the duct above the grill. So no holes drilled. I spoke with Ed (OBehave) a couple Frenzy's ago about making them, and I still owe him the drawings. Also owe finished pieces to Rob and the naked cowboy. I'm pretty sure I known what Rob needs his for...

Here's a motorized hidden plate holder: http://www.altecproducts.com/
Not sure if it will work, but it looks neat

Cheers!

I made a couple for myself and some locals from aluminum stock from the local metal supply store. I'm not in the manufacturing business but Ed is, so the best source will be his marketing network (Roger, maybe others) after I get him some drawings and assuming he decides to make them.

Any photos of your design?

The flip and go is cool, but prob lil expensive and not necessary. I wish we could have one as low as possible and to the side.

Use the tow hook socket. I had a friend machine a post for me that screws into the socket and holds the front plate. It's low and off to the side and can be easily removed when needed. No holes in the bumper simple and cheap.
