Default Pic request: Ings+1 Front Bumper License Plate Location

I've always wanted to mount my license plate on my Ing+1 front bumper.

Unfortunately google hasn't turned up anything substantial in terms of a good place for the plate.

Most pictures were taken with the plate off (for obvious reason) or were just ugly.

For those who have the Ing+1 bumper please post of pics of your cars with the plate location.
or If you have any suggestions please let me know.

The plate it currently Zip tied to the mesh...

I'll start us off...

I would just leave it ziptied.....easily removed for photoshoots and still legally mounted on front of car.

Mhm. Agreed but I'm curious to see if there are any good places for plate placement that I haven't thought of yet.

I've tried photoshopping (Ms paint....) the plate around to see different places.

I'd go along with the ziptie solution, at least it stops you from drilling holes in a great front bumper.

I too was thinking about this. I like the look of the tilted down plate.
Plus it'll look even more inconspicuous with the tilt.
But didn't want to risk getting hassled and cutting through my new mesh...D:

Really the best I can do for now.
I was thinking of having it there between the pillar and bumper in the middle of the opening.
I went to Kirmac collision, got a ton of crap about why they can't put it there...


Looking for some input from OG's like Dikspiel and Litoflow.

Thank you all for your input thus far.

Cutting $5 worth of mesh vs the plate flapping/rubbing/scraping your paint. Decision is obvious to me.

I would get a couple of L brackets and attach it on one side or the other along the bottom side of the bumper and use the lower plate holes to bolt it to the brackets.

My thoughts exactly.
That's what I proposed to the manager at Kirmac...
guess I'll be heading to the hardware store...

Dude told me that I would need special L brackets to make sure the plate bracket and plate don't bend in the highway?
Doesn't sound right to me.
