Default how to put "plates" in front of grill?

I have seen many 350z's with their front license plate installed on the front grill instead if the original place. (look at my pic, i hate it this way)
How do i do this? do i need to buy extras? please let me know.

Actually, I want one that will slide up into the grill at a push of a button. A la 007.



Here it is retracting:

I got some metal cutters and cut along outside of my plate so that it fit the contour of my front grille opening. Then just zip ties to attach. This location does not block the airflow to radiator either.

It's not pretty but it works.

..or you could get a license plate holder (bracket?) with a bunch of slots on it. Then buy 2 toggle bolts (forgot exact measurement) and have the butterfly end inside of the grill holding the bracket in place. I don't remember much about how to do this but i got it from another thread a LONG time ago...
