Here in Ontario front plates are mandatory, it's not even a question that comes up from the dealer. Doesn't bother me at all. Some people try to get away without mounting it - you see ricers all the time with front plates sitting behind the windshield, like that would stop the cop from giving out a ticket if he was having a bad day LOL.
The tow hook mounted plates are another option, but I think they look so off center and strange on most cars
Maybe it's having always seen our cars with front plates, but when I see a US car without the front plate, it somehow looks bare to me. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one.
just got a ticket for no front plate in san francisco. that ahole probably got pissed that i have the disabled card on the windshield and didnt pay the parking meter. fine is $121 or 10$ fee with "certificate of correction". i going to put the front plate back on and have officer signed it off.
what happen if i take the front plate off again and next time they see me with no front plate?
Nothing. You just go to another police or CHP station to have it sign off again if you don't want to run in to the same person that does the signing and pay another $10. But chances are, you won't get the same person. They probably won't recognize you anyway.
When I bought mine I originally said put it on but when I brought it in for the due bill I changed my mind and specifically told them not to said it was fine. They put it on anyway and I made them repair and repaint the bumper, oops. No ticket yet but I heard if you park with the plate displayed front on the dash you’re in the clear? Who knows
Does anyone have an alternative solution to the Cravenspeed tow hook-mounted front license plate holder? That's a great option (and a very cool product), but I would rather not have the plate hanging "unevenly" on the front left side.
I am trying to find something similar where drilling is not required. However, instead of a tow hook connection, I'm trying to locate a front grille-mounted version so the plate aligns evenly in the middle.
Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.
See the image below of a grill-mounted front bumper license plate holder (no drilling) evenly mounted in the middle (vs. on the side connected to the tow hook).
The example image is for a different car (not MB).

Try slybrackets, was recommend by many forum members here.
Awesome. Thank you! I actually found Sly Brackets after continuing my search.
I'll upload some photos once it arrives and I install it. My (2021) C300 DOES require the available leveler accessory (since the front lower grill is at a slight angle and this accessory allows the plate holder to be adjusted so it is evenly vertical...
