License Plate Bracket Help
Well my temp Florida tag is about to expire and I’m reluctantly gonna have to put the front VA tag on. I don’t want to use the stock bracket because I refuse to drill holes in the bumper. Can anyone tell me where I can find the LX Mode license plate bracket/frame like on the SC below or something similar? I’m thinking it can be mounted with a good double sided automotive tape like they use on trim molding. The stock bracket I have doesn't have a nice finished look like the LX bracket. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I feel the pain, I drove the car back from Sarasota a couple of weeks ago and hate the thought of putting a tag on the front. Especially knowing I'm planning on relocating to Sarasota, so I’m trying to avoid putting holes in the bumper. I have a week left on the temp tag so hopefully I’ll have the problem resolved by then.
I found this petition for the Eradication of Front License Plate Requirement in Virginia but I have no idea how long it’s been out there. If I find out anything more I’ll post it here.

Are you sure you have to. I live in Utah and it's mandatory to have front plates, but I drove a Miata for 14 years without one and my wife's RX330 doesn't have one. So, I've decided not to put one on the SC430 I bought a couple weeks ago for the very reasons that no one else wants to do it. If I get pulled over on it, then I'll put one on. Ask around...do you know of anyone whose been ticketed for it in your state?

cops usually won't pull you over just for not having a front tag. but if you're in the habit of speeding they'll gladly write you up for the tag on top of the speeding ticket.

Two problems in VA: First they are gonna get you while you are parked. They LOVE parking enforcement around here, and "no front tag" is the holy grail for meter readers. VA = $50; DC = $100 (I once got the DC ticket). Second, we have yearly inspection -- not sure whether you can pass inspection without a front license plate (or "tag" as they like to call them in this area of the country).
On a side note, it is a more expensive ticket if you have a front tag in DC, but the tag is covered in any way, including a clear cover. That ticket is $500.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm with JC on this one, although I'm as far south as you can get in VA I'm in northern VA a lot and I know how they are. So I'll be putting the tag on, just not quite sure how to mount it yet... dt interesting concept, is that a home made bracket?
