My Front Plate Solution
I was able to get my dealer to not drill holes for my front plate and instead I folded the bottom of the plate down some and zip tied it below the mouthguard in the bumper. Heres how it came out:

well the price difference between 2 free zip ties and a grimmspeed re-locator is pretty significant. Also I plan to run a tow hook once I get the Styrofoam behind the bumper taken care of.

Or just don't have one on! NY requires them, but I heard from numerous people that if you don't have anywhere to mount it, then technically you don't need it.

Why do people that? It looks so much better dead center and your blocking the radiator

Go without, or go center. There are no other options.

Completely agree. I'm debating going without a front, but I'd really rather not have more of a reason to be pulled over my the police.

Especially since many people are running semi-illegal tint and/or windshield mounted radar detectors. :P

States could make good money if they just allowed people to pay an extra fee to go plateless on the front. I'd happily pay another $50/year just to go plateless without worry.

My BRZ came with a really clean front plate mount from the factory for the center of the "mustache" and I'd rather have my plate centered than off-centered. Did no one elses BRZ come with a front plate mount? That seems really weird to me, did Subaru only ship full front plate mounting brackets with cars destined for New England?
You can see it here:
