Where did you guys mount the front license plate?
Got a fix-it ticket today in CA for not having the front license displayed...so I need to figure out a good place to install it on the front bumper...Thanks!

I used the Mitsubishi license plate frame which mounts it off to the side on the passenger side of the car. I think it requires a single hole be drilled in your front bumper. You can see the frame in this pic without the plate attached:

UFO is correct, you can mount the factory front lic plate assembly, but it will require drilling a hole about 1/2" round to insert the rubber screw grommet thing in your bumper cover. 2 other screws use existing threaded mounts. My car had the front lic assembly already on it, I removed it and had to purchase a plug and paint it to hide the hole. Did you get a lic plate assembly with car? Personally, I'm taking my chances with no front plate 'cause it ruins the looks IMO. I've got my plate held in place w/ 2 rubber bands to the underside of my passenger-side sun visor, all I do is flip down the sun visor and there it is displayed in the front windshield big as can be. Haven't found out if it'll work yet or not. I have no idea how expensive a ticket may be.

I used the factory mount bracket. I used the two existing holes up under the bumper to mount it, and where it wanted me to drill the front bumper I just used double sided tape. That way if I decide to remove it there won't be a hole.
