It's 10 bucks and I have to get it signed off by a person at the station. It's just a pain in the butt.

^^ haha well the ticket was a cleverly disguised fix it ticket. The fine on the ticket said $30 bucks but my friend and I talked to another officer and he said it was just a fix it ticket.

I like Ace83's bracket but I could not find it on e-bay. Any help?
By the way the dealer agreed to replace my bumper! No holes!
Thanks Ace83, I am going to order that bracket if I can't devise a way to mount it with no drilling at all. But it does look good

Just picked up my car today from the dealer. New bumper, no holes! Will Post pic but I got to put my HID's back in. I removed them so the dealer couldn't give me any problems about voiding my warranty. better safe than sorry.
Also I like the way it looks so much that I am going to wait till I get pulled over before I improvise a alternate license bracket.

Lucky. You have a good excuse if you do get pulled over. You can tell the cop you really wanted to display your front plate (yeah right), but you were unable because the dealer didn't provide any holes.

On second thought I think I'll post pictures after I get it washed, we just got 5 inches of snow last night. If anyone has come up with a alternat mounting bracket solution please post your pics so we all can get ideas. Even if you made it up yourself.

Actually I didn't want to drill any holes in the bumper at all. I built a bracket with parts from Home Depot. The thing is solid and looks awesome, the best part is that it's quickly removable with wing nuts. I'd love to post pics but I cant figure out how! I set up a Flickr account so you guys can see them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24346791@N04/
Thanks for the idea though.

jwilk, nice job, that looks great!! I've been pulled over 3 times since i got my tc in september 07 for other meaningless crap, never had a plate, never had a problem (here in NJ) but seeing that bracket makes me wanna go legit.

good job!

Thanks, it took about an hour just of trial and error, and about $20 total.
