Sounds like Texas, just bend a bracket to mount it between the grill and the fog light.

I've thought about doing this for my car but figured I will wait to see if they hound me about it. So far so good.

I refuse to put one on my car. I will pay an infinite amount of fines before I put it on.

I'm with you on this, but we run the risk of getting pulled over at any time. Cops need probably cause to pull someone over and we give them that by not running a front plate. That's why I keep my plate in the car and install it for those times when it would be more inconvenient to get pulled over.

I have an SLP license plate bracket on my car to offset my plate, just bolts to the underside of the bumper
