If you have the mtech front bumper with this arranagement, please share pics. I'm thinking of having the front bumper repainted in the summer and I figured I'd just have the plate holes plastic welded.

Try this plate holder. I am going to try this on my car. I think it looks better then the tow hook option.

I too HAAAATE a front plate but dnt like the look of it off center. But living in NY and being 21 means hassle hassle hassle, hideaway is probably the best bet
