My Front Plate Solution
This is a rubber plate holder like a dealer would use for temporary plates. The plate fits into rubber slots and is held securely. It is also screwed in. The two rubber arms have large two large rubber buttons on each side so when inserted through the front grate will securely hold the plate in. To remove, just lift up and work the rubber arms out. $17 online b

If you had read the thread I linked you would have seen it is a "no drilling solution." It's also removable in about 1 second by pulling a key ring to release a locking pin. And most importantly, it is not ugly.

If I'm looking at your pic correctly, the design has some potential for (eventually) scuffing and/or marring the grill beam over which it appears to drape. notwithstanding the use of rubber throughout. The "STO N SHO" design previously mentioned does not touch the grill beam or any other frontward facing body part other than its attachment points underneath the front bumper.
That said, thanks for sharing. Another creative solution certainly.

I bought it because Marin cops do not care at all about the front, it seems... but as soon as I head south to our office or hotels.... I know I will get stopped. I've yet to install it. Waiting for my ticket. Ftyprrrrrrrrrrr.... where'd you get it in the city?

if you get pulled over while it is not mounted, and tell the officer, "oh no, I have it, let me go to the trunk" and put it on. Will he say, "very clever. Now go get that thing legally mounted on the front" fix it ticket? I mean... if I get pulled over and it's not on, best thing to do is play dumb, and just take the ticket, right? If I show him, he might say it needs to be fixed and mounted in place, I assume? I don't want to screw myself being smug.
BUT NOW.....
BUT THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. A valet last night was telling me you can rig this with a button to deploy while driving.

Your worries about the Sto-N-Show are unfounded. Legally, it is "fixed and mounted." It's no different than taking a screw-driver and removing it the old-fashioned way from a bumper mount, just quicker.

If you happen to forget to attach your plate and are questioned about no plate display, being able to show you have your front plate mounted in the "STO-N-SHO" bracket would seem to go to your intent to comply. (At least it beats producing a plate without any attachment hardware.) As for being told you must fix and mount your plate in place, at least you could comply on the spot. [Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney, but a reading of one's state law is a must, IMHO.]

My opinion is that producing a Sto-N-Sho bracket will only prove your intention to NOT run a front plate and proves you plan to quickly remove it as soon as the officer is out of sight.
