Front License Plate Bracket Options

I've only seen a few options for front license plate brackets and so far I'm not impressed. I don't like the retractable plate holders or the ones that adhere to the front bumper. Is there any available that mount to the lower grill without drilling any holes or adhering to the bumper?


Not a fan of any of the below:

Look at post # 43 in this thread........

It's using the factory plate mount turned upside down and mounted wth toggel
bolts in the lower grill.

I did this to mine for a highway / road trip last month and I was very impressed with how secure it was.

I pulled it off after the trip just because the city cops don't enforce the front plate law around here and I prefer the look without it.

I zip tied mine to the grille and it's solid.

This is what I did for my V6: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...7&postcount=22

Cheap and effective. Something similar could probably be done for the SS lower grille too, if someone wanted to attempt it.
