Default Mounting front plate without holes in bumper

Since I don’t want to drill holes in my front bumper to attach the license plate, does anyone have an alternate way such as some sort of bracket that comes up from under the bumper. My last toy (1990 Supra) didn’t have a front plate for 14 years, but I did get a fix-it-ticket once. I put on the plate for 10 minutes, had a cop sign-off on it and then plate came off again ;-)

on all my cars i have a L bracket that i put holes at the bottom of teh bumper or the air dam and mount it that way. i don't know if that's going to work out fine with the sc430 though since the whole bumper front is flat, unlike the gs and is.

i will need to figure that one out too one day

I just need it to be a temporary solution just in case I get a ticket to put on a front plate. Not looking for a long term mounting and I don't want to use adhesive tape since it may damage the paint. I do like the idea of an L bracket or such.

yeah the L bracket is good, it works awesome on the gs and the is. however those cars they have the lower air dam so it works wel. but not on the sc where the front bumper is all flat. so you can only put the brakcet from the bottom of the bumper. now that's going to make it even lower, especially i fyou lower the car...
