Personally I would go with those plastic wire ties because normal 20 20 vision would not be able to see them from even a car length. My issue with the tow hook is that it is off center which creates an un-uniform look.
buy one of those front brackets and zip tie the bracket to the lower air dam. then use screws to screw the license plate into the bracket.

I have not had a front plate on my 2IS and told my dealer that when my car arrives, no front plate bracket or the deal is off. I will take my chances. I have never been pulled over in my 2IS as of yet. Of course there is a first time for everything. I think the front bracket destroys the F-Sport grille.

My Automall puts plates on most of the popular models like the RX and ES, but we don't on everything else. When a car is sold we give the option (if it's not already drilled) for the guest. If they decline, they must sign a waiver form that the dealership is not responsible for any charges or fines regarding a front plate on the car. So no, not every dealership drills

I say if you have the IS F Sport like my self it's best if you don't put a license plate on the front until you get stopped by a cop. I live in Cali (Los Angeles) and the cops are some what a$$ holes in some places but i say run the risk and see how long you can roll without a license plate on that beautiful grill.

Just like dojoman, mine came with it already drilled in. I took it off (holes aren't noticeable) and will just worry about it if I get pulled over/get a ticket. It looks way better without it IMO.
On my previous vehicle, I actually had a parking enforcement officer leave a ticket on the windshield for me for not having a front plate attached. Until then, I thought you had to be pulled over for it.
