Mounting front license plate
Question for those of you that live in states where a front license plate is mandatory - how did y'all mount your plates? Did you just bite the bullet and drill holes in your bumper, or did you buy one of those tow hook thingys?
A friend sent me a link to a BMW forum thread that shows a nifty way of installing the front license plate without drilling holes.

Apparently it is available at Autozone. What do you guys think?

I used a Skene Design bracket. Worked out great and it's very secure.

Had the dealership install it while I had the car serviced. They charged me about $30.

I anticipated this so I told my dealer absolutely no bumper drilling or I don't want the car.
I got the front plate installed with rhoplate. http://www.rhoplate.com/RPTL03-2013GS.html
Did some research prior to settling on this one. It's worked out great and it does not interfere with parking sensors.

Luckily, I live in a state (Kansas) that doesn't require the front plate.

Make sure you prime and coat the bracket with something or it will rust.
