Hi Everyone,

I don't want to drill holes into my new bumper and was wondering what solutions are available. So far it seems the easiest is a tow hook plate. Anyone know where I can pick one of these up in Toronto (or if you have any other suggestions )? Thanks!

This version is by far the best. Please do the public a favor and do NOT get one of those tow hook ones. I can't believe people think those look good. It's like wearing your ball cap sideways. Just my opinion.

I agree with you in that I'm not a fan of the side mounted plates. I wish I could just not have a front plate...

Doesn't that one still require you to drill in the bumper?

Hey to each and there own preference. Nope you just pop open your tow hook cap and pretty much almso dont install. I dont have either just simply answering a question for your post.

No drilling involved in the Bell one. It just screws into your mesh grill. I had one.

Awesome, I'll probably get the Bell one. Anyone know if they are available locally?

Thanks guys

Here's another option: Retractable Plates:

Yes, you still have to drill holes on the bottom of your bumper, but because its retractable, you can get the clean, no plate look whenever you want.

I used this kit, painted it black to match the car and it looks great. I bought my car in Quebec and the dealer didn't want to give me a bracket with the purchase of the vehicle. So for $10 I got the Bell one from Amazon.

I had a vinyl sticker image of my license plate made. Its illegal but I'd rather have that then no plates

[paintballdude05]

Actually, to have a sticker as a plate replacement is worse than having no plate at all as it is considered forging a government issued document. Should the cop decide do get sticky about it, it is a very serious fine, much worse than the $110 no front plate ticket. That's in Ontario anyways. I thought about the sticker idea but I know the local cops are sticklers with nothing better to do.

I take this comment back... It kept getting loose, so I ended up taking it off.

Have it in my trunk in case I get pulled over, but did order the Bell one

[Treize]

I can't for the life of me pop out the mesh to install the Bell mount... I can pop off the top tabs but the bottom and side tabs wont move. How did you guys install these?

[paintballdude05]

I was going to do the same, but apparently you have to pull the front bumper to get the grille out. I ended up putting it right in front of the grille right into the plastic. You'd have to get on your knees to see the holes if I were to take the holder off
