License Plate

I know on an FB they are a curse, but for those of you who have front license plates where do you mount them? Pics please, if possible.
I have been tuning my car, and the law is begining to give me trouble. I havent been cited yet, but I am sure it is ineviteble if I dont do this soon.

Check the Mazda dealer and see if they have a bracket. When I bought my 2nd gen, it came from a state that didn't have front plates. The dealer had one in stock, less than 7 bucks. I've seen them go for over 30 on eBay. Funny, they had the bracket, and don't stock thermostats.

If you don't care about your front bumper too much you can screw directly into it, but if its your nice car, its a bit ghetto.

^^^^ lol, that's great if you want to show roadkill your registration number

i've just left mine off, even though were supposed to have them here in CT. Some officers confronted me when I was picking up a pizza once (they were eating there and saw me pull in) and told me they were starting to check for things like that. I still haven't put it on, they are FUGLY on SA bumpers. I guess I could put in way down low, but eh, i'll take my chances.

I dont want to do it. But the cops are starting to crack down around here. Jeez Steve you saw that GT-S I was driving, no muffler, no mid-pipe, LOUD AS HELL!! and it doesnt have a front plate either... And I drive it like a mad man. But Nooooo, I drive the nice car, and they decide to pull me over.... I am not happy, I think I will spite them and leave it off, but I dont think they will care.... They'll just ticket me.... ARGH!!
