Question Best choice for Front License Plate Mount & Placement?

I will be needing to mount a front plate on a 2010 ss very soon. I would love to see some pictures and get some recommendations to what my best options are. The car will not be a car show car, so I may be willing to drill holes for mounting if necessary.

I am hoping that I can find a good solution on this thread to help me make up my mind!

Thank you in advance.

don't drill holes, mine bolts right up to the factory bolts underneath the nose, I bought mine back in 2009 on ebay motors, try searching there for one, I love mine.

I drilled 2 holes in my front bumper cover and bent the front license plates & frames. The factory holder is the worse looking front license plate option imo.

Not sure what the big deal is with putting holes in the bumper. If you HAVE to put a plate on the front, in all likelihood, so will the guy buying your car down the line. Best to get the position correct. Personally, I think the plates that are bent look like crap, and just give the cops a reason to pull you over. Plates that are position too low also look wrong.

Personally, I think that front license plates look like ass no matter what but it's the stinkin' law in some states such as California

If you don't need to take it off for car shows or meets. Then the jacfab would be the way to go. If you want it gone for meets, pics etc. Show n Go is what its all about.
