Alright, I'm tired of this... how should I mount my plate?

I got pulled over for the 3rd time in the last 6 times I've had the car out for no front plate. I don't even want to drive the damn thing anymore b/c of a**hole cops that do nothing but sit around and look for stuff wrong on my car. The exhaust is way too loud and draws more attention than I'd like so the least I can do is somehow mount my front plate without messing up the grill. There goes the clean look of my front end ![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)
Here's how it stands now...

What would be the best way to mount it without screwing anything up, but making sure it can be removed in the future? Obviously double-sided tape would work, but that could get messy with the frequency that I wash the car. Any ideas would be helpful.

I did buy that SLP mount though when I first got the car, if it gets bad enough I might have to throw it on. Hopefully I wont have to because it looks like ****.
How much does the no front plate ticket cost by the way and what was your excuse to the cop if you dont mind me asking?

I wouldnt put it past VA, they are going nuts over speeding tickets to "fix roads" ...*rant* anyway. I didnt have the front bird on my TA so i put my plate there, i have seen SLP's set up and think its really clean.

Yea, the thing is, I've been driving with no plate ever since I got the car (3 years ago) and it's only recently that this crap has started. I had my plate in the windshield and passed by the cop going the opposite way as he was camping out looking for traffic speeding on this one road. So, I saw him pull out behind me and such so I took it easy and pulled into the nearest neighborhood and stopped. He came up beside the car and asked where my plate was. I said some kids in my neighborhood think it's cute to keep ripping the plate off the front of my car so I have the bracket on order. He then proceeded to tell me that i def can't have it just mounted in the windshield and I told him ok and he just drove off. I'm quite lucky I didn't get a ticket, but I'm just really tired of being harassed about it when I have to drive like a damn grandma in this thing and even still get **** for it.
