Default Front license plate..

My turboed R has a front mount intercooler thus preventing me from inserting the licene plate holder into the grill area. Are there any other ways I can somehow mount my front license plate on my usdm type R bumper? Is there a special license plate holder made by Acura that can be used to mount my front plate?

Same in Illinois. Just leave it off. Keep it in the trunk and if you're stopped, tell them it fell off. (It helps to have it in the car, in case they're worried that you're using the second plate on another car.)

Get 4 suction cup hangers from your local hardware or crafts store and stick the plate inside the front windshield facing forward, obviously.

I have mine this way on the lower passengers side so it can be taken out quickly and easily with no tools needed. I haven't had an issue yet.

the front license does not go into the grill area. use the 2 bolt holes in the bumper and mount the tag with 2 bolts.

or move to N.C./S.C. where no front tag is required.

Yeah just bolt it through the bumper (there's no way your intercooler sticks forward that much).

Tweak, who sticks it back to the People's Republic of Maryland by having his laser jammer mounted to his front plate

In the states where it's mandatory to have a front plate like TX, just shave off the place to mount it like I did and keep it under your passenger's side floor mat. Blame it on the manufacturer for not having a place to mount it .

I got some license plates made for me by a advertising comp.
Very cheap replacement, but you might get acused for document fraud. (aleast here in Norway)

I`ve mounted it with tape w/ some strong "thingy that kids tie their shoes with". (Dunno what the english word is)
Works really well. It wont fell of, and its very easy to take off at events etc.
