For real though.... I would much rather have the towhook mount than have holes drilled and a bracket on my bumper. The tow hook mount isn't bad.

that's what I would do. we're fortunate that PA doesn't require front plates.
I don't care for the looks of a front plate on any car.

I like the idea of fabricating a center mount down low though. If I was forced to, I would probably look at that option

Because, ...quoting well known user Tcoat..., “Racecar spelled backwards is Racecar, because Racecar.”

The fun part is that in regions that require a front plate the only person that really even notices it is the car owner. I mean really do people think there are strangers driving down the road thinking "Ah shit that car is ruined by that front plate". It is the norm and other than a few "car guys" people just don't care. They are more apt to see no plate and think "What is wrong? I can't quite put my finger on it but something is missing".

OP's not going to last long here. Wait 'til he figures out what hard parking is. His head'll explode.

I like my bug collector just where it is.

Cops can put their finger on it. They know right away because they use them as perfect targets for lidar.

I have mine in on the tow hook with a smoked cover plate on my DGM BRZ. My bumper was already drilled and I haven't had the chance to cover the holes up but I don't care because I will eventually and I like the way it looks in the mean time.

Why do I do it?

Because f**k you, that's why.

Because, even super cars have it?
