I live in NYC and plan to getting a M sport replica bumper painted and installed. I have to have a front plate, but don't want it screwed onto my front bumper. I've seen a few people here on the forum and around town who have the front plate on their lower bumper grille. Will doing that affect my cars performance in any way? Cooling?

Just use 3m trim tape and install it where it belongs. Looks better, and no holes.

I don't feel any impact in performance. I've also been monitoring temps and I'm not seeing an increase especially now since it's starting to get cooler here.

How did you mount your plate? I've seen zip ties, but not sure if I want to go that route.

I too live in ny and if you use this as I have 7 out of 10 cops will still right u a ticket based upon not being affixed to the front bumper! Or to low for visibility and I believe the law states plate has to be at minimum 10 inches from ground up!! Hope this helps

I tried a few things like zip ties and 3M tape. I even contemplated a US Mill mount. In the end, I used spring nuts. 25 cents each from you local hardware store.

See my thread from a about a month ago (with pics)...

Go with the US Mill Works or 3M locking tape, you won't regret it. I wouldn't touch hidetheplate as it is quite a clumsy design, unless that's what interests you.
