Default Front plate mount.

Tried googling some but couldn’t find any of what I’m looking for.
anybody have pics of their front plate mounted to the front left hand side tow hitch with the attachment? Thinking of doing this if it looks good. Otherwise I have to locate another oem mount to put the plate on.

This is an old pic of my car, but I zip tied the oem mount to the lower grill, imo perfect place to mount it. I personally don't like the off center look of tow hook mounts, not to mention it stick out a few inches from the car, and you hit a bump it's crooked.

This is the cravenspeed front plate. I rotated it 180 because it sat right it front of a sensor. It's made to sit more in front of the car. Also, I have the OEM mount if you're looking to buy one.

I actually just got a verbal warning yesterday about not having a front plate.

Mine didn't come with the front mounting bracket when I bought it so I just ordered the silicon frames and need to source some screws once they arrive.

I’ve been running no plates but I’ve been pulled over for it multiple times and just annoyed of it. No plate looks the best but I’d rather not have them waste my time and find something to actually ticket me with while only trying to give me a warning for the plate. But the idea of the lower grill looks more appealing so far.

My city has too many shootings to waste time pulling cars over for no front plate. Going on 2 years and haven't been nailed yet fortunately.
