Default Got pulled over for no license plate

I had one in my front window held up with suction cups. but it didnt matter. Im lucky I got off with a warning.

Im moving the bumper to the front, but I just painted my freshly shaved bumper.

Should I rock it off to the side with a relocator? or drill through my shaved holes.

if it were me, which i have gotten plate tickets before, id put it inside the bumper down low, its still on the front bumper, so they cant really do a damn thing about it. or just put it back in the factory spot.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too tough to custom fabricate something to attach to the bumper support or something, in order to save your bumper. But if worse comes to worse, the factory mounting plate is the best IMO.

I Would just put it in the middle. When i bought my car i could get the plates on because some idiot stripped out the holes. So i just drilled some new ones

Put it to the side. It's too boring in the middle, IMO

Putting it off the side(driver) allow more air cool the radiator. Remove it completely to allow full air for front mount intercooler.

No front plate at all = race/track car.
No front plate street = show/ricer
