I have a Rennline tow hook mount on my car and like it (as much as one can like having a front plate on their car). I'll try to make the next C&C if you would like to check it out. Just out of curiosity, what was the damage from the ticket?
$25 for no front tag.

New to site, but thought you should know.

You just signed up to Rennlist, and just so happened to post the same response on four threads. Any chance that this myfrontplate.com BS is your website?

Just curious...

3M All-weather Doubled-sided Tape works great. It too rec'd a ticket and had to do something before a Skine Bracket arrive so I purchased the 3M product and errr... yep... with two 4 inch pieces taped it onto the bummer. It placed it so that it hangs low, over the front radiator and looks actually pretty good. So good that the Skine bracket arrived and I just haven't found the time to do it proper. Checke it out. It's a great inexpensive alternative to brackets or drilling holes.

Another old inventiva thread resuscitated. You might get lucky and find a used one that someone is willing to part with. You can also try the DIY approach and save a few bucks. Check out this thread that was just circulating for both the above. Maybe Jeff will even make another batch? If so, I'm in. https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...bracket-3.html

Save your money. Fab a bracket out of some L brackets. Easy DIY.

I used some zip ties to attach the plate to the grill. Had the ticket signed off then cut off the zip ties and put the plate back in the frunk where it belongs.

Default One and one...

Once I got a ticket, and it was $25. Another time I was let go with a warning.

Love the idea of trimming the plate and stuffing it in the grille!

Speaking of trimmed plates....

I never used my front plate and actually lost it years ago.

Is it an optical illusion, or do you have two different exhaust tips?

Default I thought this was a creative front license plate solution

Mounted to the passenger visor. Depends on the state I believe, as some require it to be visible from the front, and others require it to be mounted to the exterior...... Nonetheless i had not seen this solution before.
