Options for mounting BRZ license plate?

Other than towing hook mount is there a way to mount the license plate without drilling holes in the bumper/mouthguard?

Zip-tie it to the grille... However, be warned... It's not legal, it must be "securely bolted on"... But I think that rule may be different from state to state, city to city, country to country.

A guy on here came up with a method of mounting it with the OEM bracket but using magnets instead of drilling.

Though personally I like the tow hook mount because JDM yo.

swift motorsports had a motorized plate frame that would mount under the bumper. Im not sure if they are still in business anymore though. Seemed like a cool idea.
