Plate bracket for new bumper
So I got a fix it ticket for my tint a few weeks ago and he gave me a warning for having my plate in my window...also a few other car enthusiasts of mine have warned me about it as well.
But in about a week I will be putting on a new front bumper. Pic below

except I will be putting a black mesh grill in the front since I dont have an intercooler to shine off
Anyone have any suggestions on how to mount a front plate with ought drilling into the bumper???

Until you decide how to mount it on your front end take it out from behind your windshield. If you get in an accident do you really want a loose piece of sheet metal flying around the cabin?

I've read some places where it's a sports car and if it came from the factory it don't have to have one. I may be wrong but i've had mine for a few and seen others with out front plate. and many cops pass me.
Auto Zone sells a license plate bracket that mounts to the top inner part of your grill. Its $8 and can be angled for less JDM wind resistance.
I want to get the show n go plate. but read that has a tendency to fail.
so i dont want it to fail when I need it hahah

Any of these look similar to what you have?

but all of those look like they need to require driiling or screws in the bumper :/
The screws are on the underside and can't be seen. You're paying like 100 bucks for your fiberglass bumper, not like your buying the authentic $1200 version, not a big deal. Bumpers are expendable since they take a beating from daily driving.

I was thinking this..... excuse my kid drawing ahah
but basically buying the one on orielys and mounting it to the mesh

My only concern is....will it bend the mesh? will it be too heavy for the mesh to support. and will the the wind pressure effect it at all
I found a wholesaler to get me the bumper for $130 from ED brand new.
And I could come and inspect it before hand.
Im very well connected with one of SOCALs best autobody shops(many awards recieved also), and he said 100 bucks to paint and mount the bumper and a pair of side skirts. along with some other small things
Should I fork out the extra cash for VIS or just not worry about it with the ED since I know its going to be the same price?

Just going by what you said.
The mesh would not support something like that, I would use something similar that Finalforce used where he mounted it upside down to the underside of the bumper opening
