Default Where do you mount the front license plate?

Most of the pics I see of 4th gen camaros don't have the front license plate installed. I would like to get a new grill, but don't want to put the plate right smack in the middle like the stock grill.

Where have some of you mounted the plate? Could you post pictures of your front end setup with the plate mounted too?

Thanks a ton.

Well.. I'm transferring soon. No more safety inspections. They don't normally stop you as long as the plate is visible..

The reason I have not changed my grill, police here are just looking for a reason to pull you over.

Mine stayed in the wax bag that DMV in CT mails it in, and I heave it on the dash when I get pulled over. If the cop asks why it's not on the car, I tell him I have a plate theft problem...... they never question that.

Thanks for all the responces, and the SLP bracket thingy looks like it would work.....

but does anyone have pictures of the plate mounted on the air dam or using the SLP bracket? I've searched cardomain.com, but most people don't have the front plate mounted.

from what I understand arnt there only like 3 states other than VA that require you by law to have the front plate on? Before you buy a bracket, check with your state law to find that out. I wouldnt ask dmv or anything, really do the research and find out for yourself.
