I agree, 100%. If you don't want to drill holes into your bumper, you might as well just not have the front plate on at all. If you are going to put the license plate on, then you might as well just put it where it's supposed to go. Who cares about holes -- it's not like you're going to constantly take the plate on and off to the point where you'd be disturbed by holes in the bumper.

It just looks silly when people have plates mounted elsewhere, especially if it's offset slightly, which makes it look unintentionally located off-center. And like other people have said, you're blocking a noticeable amount of airflow to the radiator. Evos have offset license plate frames when mounted, and it looks fine (it doesn't bother me, I've had two Evos that I drove without front plates for close to a year then eventually installed the plate on both), but it looks dumb when people mount it in the same plate but without the frame (or if they do that and just use double-sided tape) or if they attach it to the mesh grill with zip-ties.
