Thanks to Knightcom, I just bought this new mount for my M-Tech front Bumper. I did not want to drill or mount tape on the bumper and it appears these guys figured out how to get around it. Take a look.

I ended up painting the underside mounts Jet Black with the Touch-Up paint I had from my E39. The best part is, when I don't want the front plate on the car (driving around my town, going to meets and showing off my car
, etc..), I just unscrew the 2 bolts at the hinge and it's gone!
I'll take some pix of it soon, but thought you guys should check this company out.
Thanks Ryan. You are the man!

Looks like a good idea but you still have to put a couple screws through the bumper, you just don't have to do it on the front (visible) face...

Did I also mention it swivels/tilts. Also, the backing plates have little rubber guards so the mounts don't damage your bumper. Pretty smart idea if you ask me. And should you ever want to sell your front bumper, there's no holes, scratches, tape glue or anything. It stays nice and clean.
