Okay, I think that I found the black license plate frame & the smoke (gray) license plate guard that you are referring to:
Plastic Black License Plate Frames, 2-pk
Product #37-2374-2
http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/pl...-0372374p.html
License Plate Guard, Smoke
Product #37-7498-8
http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/li...-0377498p.html
Thanks for all the information. I am going to see if I can find similar products down in the U.S.
I am surprised that you only used 2 zip ties though - I thought you would need 4 due to the four holes in the frame & guard. Maybe your 2 zip ties were extra long so that each passed through 2 holes (top to bottom)?

Thank you very much - I'm totally gonna mount mine in the same position!! 
Do you have any close-up pics that show how you mounted it with zip ties?
Also, had another thought - are there any sensors in that lower area that this mounting position could possibly interfere with, such as for park assist, radar cruise control / precollision, lane departure alert, etc.?

Front License Plate
I live in Wisconsin where 2 plates are required. I have not had a front plate on any of my cars since 1998 and have not been pulled over once. Granted the days of driving at 2:00 am are behind me but the point is, unless there's a reason, they probably will leave you alone especially if it is a car that the front plate would damage. I keep mine in the trunk just in case.

Appreciate the 'creativity' of some.
In my case, I will / have taken the chance on several cars I currently own. I'll pay the $42. ticket in NJ - chances are if I get stopped - it won't be for the plate - but surely the plate missing would be an add-on.
I can pay a few tickets before I would break-even in buying a mount and dealing with it still is not the right solution.
Those who have mounted the plate lower seems to be a nice trade-off vs. the mfg. designated location.

What do you consider high speed? I've only hit around 80 mph tops and I haven't had a problem with the kit so far. Also, the kit has a tight build so there isn't a lot of room for the license plate bracket to wiggle; it would take a lot of force for the bracket to hit the bumper.

I think this could be the license plate bracket that you have, they just do not have a picture posted up for it.

Using tow hook mount make it looks so off and out of balance. Don't like it at all.

Also when you purchased the bracket did your reciept have the product number?
It's Product#37-7420-2 on the site.
