Default front license plate holder

anyone know where to get a removable front plate holder? i really want to get the billet grille, but my state - VA - mandates we have a front plate. i'd say f-it, but gettn on base after someone stole my front tag was bad enuf (apparently my "excuse" wasnt good enuf).

i just want something that i can slap on during the week, and on the weekends, take off an just cruise. can anyone help me?

Can you put it on your dash and get away with it? if not just get some long bolts and wing nuts and go through the billet grill

i'll search, but there was a thread where one guy made a braket that came out infront of the grille with a push of a button, and then went back inside when you push the button again. takes some fabricating though.

hm... ok. i searched a lil to see wut i culd find ont he net.. guess i culd search here

as far as the dashboard idea - thats a no-go. gate guards always givin me crap sayin that the plate needs to be bolted up front. i had it on the dash when i got the new plates, but, it just wuldnt work out. plus im scared of the plate scraping up my dash.

i can't find it. but it basically it was ran by a window motor. and it was attached to a bracket that lowered the plate infront of the grille, and then when it retracted, it would go back into the bumper portion of the car. facing up. it's hard to describe. but i'll keep looking.
