Help with a fix-it ticket

Help with a fix-it ticket
I have a 98 GS400 and I just got a fix-it ticket for missing front license plate. I am in LA and this is the first ever fix-it ticket that I got for missing front plate. Now, does anyone know of any method or thing that I can put my plate at the front without drilling into my bumper? May be a magnetic front plate holder? Anything? Anyone?
Thanks

Just use tie wraps or velcro, but tie wraps will probably work better. Might be other ideas if you use the search function, i know this topic has been talked about before.

If you don't want noticeable holes in your front bumper you can try this DIY...courtesy of rominl.

Thanks for the help.
One more question, I might have found a way to put on the plate without any drilling but the placement of the plate is a little to the side, not like all the way but between the fog light and the center.
Now, will that pass the inspection? Is there a law saying that you have to put it at the center?
Thanks

For people in LA or OC.... If you do not have front license plate, please try to avoid driving your car to LAX. My fiance, recently got one as well and I have seen police pull over people like crazy due to the missing of front license plate. This is all because of heighten security measure to avoid potential terrorist plot. Oh yeah, I had several other friends who also got this in LAX.

A friend of mine got one recently. The police officer told him that, though he would let him "off" with a fix-it ticket, it can now be written up as a moving violation. This was in Santa Barbara near an exotic car meet, and police officers were in force to patrol the area...
Does anyone know if sticking the front plate inside the car, in the windshield on the passenger side, will suffice? If so, I'd just do this when going near the airport. Otherwise, I'll take my chances.

i wouldnt put it on the dash so it is visible through the windshield, for one i think it is ugly, and two you can still get a ticket for it being there, and three if u do get pulled over for some other reason the officer will first notice it being there so you will have a better chance of getting a ticket for no front plate. the easiast way to get it signed off is to stick a piece of double sided tape on the plate and stick it on the bumper when u get there, and pull it off once it is signed off this way u dont have to deal with any holes. also use a frame it will make it look a little more legit.
