Haven't the last ten or so posts been about this exact topic?

So no, it was not the last ten but who ever stopped giving their two cents just because the weren't first? :P

We ended up with the platypus (http://www.cravenspeed.com/the-platy...e-plate-mount/)... its a solid product...although I don't remember why we got this one instead of others... but in any case - there are lots of options out there.

I don't remember which thread it was under now but one guy mounted the license plate to the front grill he installed using cable ties. I'm not sure its the best idea, but it did fulfill the requirements without drilling or magnets.

Actually...that is very likely why we got the platypus too. Prime is just so damn convenient!

I haven't run a front plate in the 17 months I've had my BRZ.....and I haven't had an issue yet. Driven past who knows how many cops and not one has batted an eye.

So, I guess my front plate relocation would be that my front plate sits on top of a bookshelf in my dining room. :P

Yeah and if and when they do decide to pull you over, if you are in California, I think it is just a fix-it ticket.
