I'm in the same situation, although I got pulled for no front plate and ended up with a fix-it ticket for the exhaust. A mustang friend showed me a mount he bought that reaches in from the front and grabs the bumper lip, but I haven't bothered setting something up along the same lines.

I'm dealing with this too, I've got mine sitting in the front window, I've also got an R1 so with dual oil coolers it's not gonna go over one of the gaps in the bumper, I'm at a loss. I'm just glad I haven't been pulled over yet, tho I can't get a ticket for my exhaust here, thank god.

After searching the forums for a suitable solution that wouldn't require me to drill holes in my front bumper and wouldn't restrict too much airflow, I purchased the "license bracket" from Parts.com:

Since I live in NY, I didn't want to give the cops another reason to pull my car over. The cost was $56.47 which isn't cheap, but it's designed specifically for our car. It mounts to the underside of the top of the front bumper. I even installed rubber pads where it meets the bumper to prevent scraping. I won't be near my car for a day in case you need pictures.
Ray at Malloy Mazda can get you the same part and is probably faster with shipping, but might charge a few dollars more, not sure.

I like that idea, the only problem is where that would be mounted to was cut out to make room for all of our FMICs
