Default How to mount license plate to Nismo V2?

I got a no front plate fix it from a CHP driving in San Gabriel Canyon last week. It sucks but oh well. How should I mount a plate to the bumper? Is it okay if I use zip ties? I think I will take it off after I sign off the ticket.

I was considering getting one of these when I get my Vertex kit next summer.

I think Sean from PrecisionZ had a thread on the "Show and Go Plates" system. Granted its probably more that you are looking to do.

Yea that's definitely more than something I'd like to do.

I'm just wondering if they will sign my ticket if I go there w/ zip ties securing my plate.

Stillen has a bracket that uses the tow bolt mount. Link:

I played the licence plate game and paid several $50 citations. Not worth the hassle. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I don't think I've ever been pulled over in my Z. This was the first time and it was for a no front plate :/ Cool guys, thanks for the suggestions.

I zip tied it to the front bottom left of the bumper.
It's kind of a tricky process but I can take close up pics if you want.

I've just got a car with the nismo V2 and am looking to mount the plate.
If you could send me some pics of how you've done it that would be great.
