Its finaly time to mount my plates, although i have dodged it for about 5 months now.
I really hate the look of a front mounted plate, and was curious if there were any options in terms of plate mounts for the front bumper.
Thanks and if you can, let me know where I can get any.

I dodged for a long time too. Just put it on, you'll get used to it in a day or two. Take the...
stock plastic frame and grind down the circular "posts" on the back. This way when you mound the plate, it will fit flush to the bumper.

You could always try what this guy did--have a copy of your plate made out of reflective vinyl:

My 2c: Buy a *spare* Lic. plate cover, paint it and keep original handy for GTG and Sale
You can get a spare at Clair Parts or other
You can do you own paint job on this using Dupli-Color Car Spray-Paints from Kragen, AutoZone. Take your old panel in for color matching. Don't forget to buy a spray can of Clear-Coat !
Takes about 5mins to do a coat, 2~4 hrs to set a coat. Do 2 or 3 coats, and then a final clear-coat.
Cheers :-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.clairparts.com/accessories4.asp?product_id=1210&PDID=19410">h ttp://www.clairparts.com/accessories4.asp?product_id=1210&PDID=19410</a</li></ul>
