Removable or Hidden Front License Plate Bracket?

Does anyone have one of these or a product they suggest? Trying to avoid drilling holes directly into the front bumper.

There are 6-8 companies on Amazon that sell a front plate holder that threads into the towing eye unit. Type in different queries such as
” tow hook license plate bracket”.

Front License Holder

I have this one on my 2016 S550C4 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/291639938464?ul_noapp=true.
It works fine. You will have to adjust the position until it doesn't interfere with sensors.

Thanks folks, hoping to find a center bracket solution with having to drill. I don't want to go the toe hook mount route...

The Mid-city electronic one is centered on the S-Class (not on the SL shown in the video).

Or you can do what I did on our SL a while back. Just attach a bracket on the lower grid. Focus at the time was not to drill and to have the license plate as flash as possible on the car. This bulky plastic holders are not pretty...

This was from Amazon at the time. I bought all stainless screws/nuts, etc. All in all was $25 or so

I have up on putting it on the left, it looked horrible. I gave up on everything and just mounted the darn thing in the front. I gave up on easy pass being on the windshield since every position I tried, easy pass didn't work for some reason so I used the ugly front license plate easy pass mount and I never had a problem with easy pass picking up the signal. I got to the point where I simply said F it and now I just don't care. I don't even notice it's ugliness anymore. I just love my car!
