Front License Plate Bracket

Got pulled over today doing well over the posted speed limit and CHiPs was nice enough to only give me a fix-it ticket for a front license plate bracket. My plan is to put it on and remove after they look at it, though I know I'll likely have some unsightly holes in my front bumper afterwards. Anyone have any good ways around drilling the holes, preferably ones that don't look ghetto-fabulous?! If anyone has a front bracket they want to part ways with, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Please don't drill holes in your front bumper! My car came with the license plate mount and when I removed it I have four ugly *** holes in my front bumper, sure it looks better that having the license plate but if you don't have any holes now don't drill any, trust me you'll regret it later. Try and figure out a way to mount the license plate using some double side tape so you can clean it off later with goo gone or something.

I'm thinking of trying these brackets that fit into the tow hook threads

Thanks, and it surprisingly doesn't look terrible! I think thats the best workaround.

Just be sure you are not using this if you have parktronic because it will set off the parktronic sensor.
