Where did you mount your front license plate?
I think I saw a thread like this once a long time ago but thought I'd start one since I couldn't find it. Just curious as to where people mounted their front license plates. I'd really prefer to NOT use that stock ugly bracket, so any other alternatives would be great. Even if you just bolted it into the bumper.. that seems like it might just be the solution

Mounted mine on the stock DSM mount that was for the DSM bumper I have on my car. I mounted the plate mount the most ghetto way I could - with a chunk of wood and some screws. I dont have pics but it works lol.
Edit: On the wifey's FC I used aluminum rivets with an aluminum backer plate for strength.

I have slimline personal plates so mine aren't too high, so the plate doesn't affect the air going into my radiator/oil cooler/ intercooler.
I used "nut-serts" (spelling?) which are basically exactly like a large pop rivet, except they have a 10mm thread in the center of the rivet.
They are great for attaching stuff in engine bays etc.
I just put 2 directly into the front of the bumper and then got a couple of old school hotrod pointy style chromed nuts to hold the licence plate on.

Yeah, import car designers must shudder with horror when asked to make provisions for the US (12"x6", or 30cmx15cm for you foreign folk) plates front and back.
I have yet to see ANY sportscar design that elegantly integrates a 1/2-square-foot flat vertical plate into an aerodynamic front-end design. It's like bolting a barn door onto an airplane.
