Front License Plate

RE: Front License Plate
based on all the information that I have recieved so far, I've designed, and drawn a bracket. I even talked to an engineer at my work ro make sure that the integrity of the bracket would stand up to what I needed. I plan on making one here shortly, I just need a few more tools.
until then, I needed something that will hold a LP so I don't get pulled over by the man. I went out and bought 2 "L" brackets, 4 bolts, nuts and washers. (the bolts were the wrong size, and I need to exchange those for smaller ones) once I have the project completed I'll be posting instructions and pictures of my work so that anyone else coming along with the same problem will have another option other than drilling into their bumper.
just so I don't pull a stupid Noob stunt, where is the section of this forum that I should post instructions and picture of this project?
Once again, I just wanted to thank everyone for all their input, and the nice warm welcome that I have recieved.

Alright, I finally had a chance to take pics.
So, here's my home made bracket. It's nothing special, just a bracket to place my LP onto the fascia without leaving visible holes for later removal.

I had mine velcro strapped to my passenger visor in plain view for almost a year and it was very easy to see but I was still told by a cop, as I was going into one of the Army bases here, that I had to have it mounted on the front fascia. They use laser out here, so I guess it's imperative for cars to have them up front where they can tag you, lol.

RE: Front License Plate
In wisconsin they require it to be on the front also. I dont have my plate on the front though and i've met so many cops on the road, State troopers, county/city and never once have they stopped me. I was even in Wisconsin dells this last weekend for a huge show, cops everywhere and i never got stopped.....I guess it depends on the cop but ive had good luck so far (knocks on wood)

The direct front is just too plain for me.
