Smile License Plate Mount and 3rd row head rest

Hello, everybody. Just got a 2017 LX and got a few questions so please bare with me.

1. Has anybody found a suitable solution for mounting the front license plate w/o drilling
2. Did you 2016/2017 LX come with a head rest for the third row? I can't find mine.

Thanks.

Thanks. I checked them out and a few others but these seem to be model specific and so far I have not seen one specific to the LX. I will be checking out the other options at: http://www.licenseplatebracketcentra...bracket-front/

1. Find a local or web source for 3M heavy duty Velcro. It will not come off with a pressure washer. It's semi-permanent...removing the plate may bend it and destroy the Velcro, but it's simple to reapply.

2. They come with a head rests...check the zippered compartment on the back of the driver's side seat. It's an Owner's Manual thing...

I never mounted the license plate and still have not been stopped by a cop yet, . It looks cooler without the license plate.

Front license plate is waste of time. I never have it on any of my cars. If an officer pulls you over, I would venture to say that t's likely about something more than a missing front plate. Either that or he/she simply does not like the way you look.

If I may add, don't adjust your glasses/sunglasses with your middle finger either when looking at an officer.
