Mount for license plates

These still require you drill holes in the front of your car, but not in a place that will be seen. They are right-angle metal brackets that screw into a downward-facing part of your car's nose and then offer a forward-facing metal plate to attach your plate to. If you remove the mount later, no holes will be visible.

Don't be fooled by these; they aren't meant for the kind of license plate mounting you're trying to do. These are temporary mounts for car dealers and test drives. Even if you wanted to risk it with one, you need to find some metal on your car's front end, which is mostly plastic these days. These are an interesting trick: You can order what is essentially a novelty plate printed on durable adhesive material that can be stuck to any smooth part of the face of your car.

The adhesive plate, shown below the original metal one, does a good job of looking just like your real plate, but it isn't. Since they are the correct size, an exact replica of your state's plate design, and carry your license plate number, they might fool a lot of people from 20 feet away. But they are not, in fact, government-issued license plates. An understanding officer might be OK with that, but that's at your risk.

The holes for this mount are hidden well under the chin of your car, and the entire plate holding part of the system can be removed in seconds. Hard to not be charmed by these, which give your car a touch of Q's shop while also avoiding visible holes and having ultimate ease of plate "removal" when you don't need to show it. But the chin of a car is a brutal place for anything electromechanical to live, and I have doubts these are sufficiently durable.

You may have seen my explainer about connected digital plates , which are on the market in small numbers. But even here in California where they were launched, the law still requires you sport a piece of tin up front, even while you have 21st century tech out back.

For now, most of us just need to get used to putting front plates on cars that simply aren't well-designed for them. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.
