Hey guys. So.. I recently purchased a camaro and was told that it did not have the front license plate bracket and told me to come back to the dealer when the plates comes and they will have it installed..

However, I don't want them drilling holes into my car for a front license plate.. Anyone else feels/felt the same? Any alternatives? I was thinking about putting it in front of my dashboard but Idk... Let me know what you guys think.

Stow and go plate holder. Don't let them drill holes, you'll hate it.

I didn't want to drill into my bumper either.. so my alternative was I used (2) of these "toggle bolts," I have my license plate bracket fastened to my bottom grill... so I can take off my plate without having holes

LOL I just youtubed it and that's pretty badass.
If you have one, is it easy to install?

I do have one. I got the motorized one, I think I paid about $120 for it. I love it, but had to repair the holes in my bumper that the F#$%ing dealership put there

Installation was a breeze.

Which reminds me that I need to take new pictures for my avatar and signature pics.

If you don't mind can you post up some pics or videos? That looks like a better alternative.

This seems pretty cool too.. I don't have those kinds of bumpers though=/

Here is what I ordered soon after I bought the car, so when the plates came in at the dealership I asked them to install this manual version of the show & go front plate holder:
