Yeah, very true, but it was only ziptied, you can take it off and put it on in 10 seconds

Use doublesided tape, no holes and you you can always take it off later, thats what I did anyways..

Ive used the tow hook for years -- no complaints. I have mine set off to the side and lower than the white 507 in the posted comments. I think it's an RHO? It may be GoMiniGo also.

I got a bracket custom made and easily removable (it only takes 5 seconds for removal or install) for my R:

He makes them for mesh grill designs as well. I got the same thing made for my W208 and plan to get one for my upcoming 212. http://chairpilotproducts.com/

Um, develop a friendship with someone in Easton, Stroudsburg, or Philly?

I use velcro to hold my plates. Makes it very easy to remove or put the plates on

Like someone else mentioned I just take the ticket (it is only a fix it ticket) and in the last 20 years I have only got 2 tickets for no front plate (bay area California) so it is worth the cost I think.
