License plate bracket for '09 that doesn't require putting holes in the bumper?

I am close to recommending the mods move this to the "talk about other crap" area and keep the posts actually addressing the license plate fix.

You might have a hard time doing that... I don't think that there are too many solid locations on the sedan to mount a bracket to, I know on the liftback there's quite a bit of plastic bumper and lining up front.

I suppose that that makes a lot more sense. The way I read it at first was that because the legislature talked about it that it suddenly wasn't a law, and didn't see any expiration on the law that MadMax quoted. Didn't think you were full of it or anything... more of a "huh?!" moment.

I don't think that's necessary, we're still talking about how to mount it, and haven't strayed too far off topic... we're still talking about license plates, right?

I knew I'd get the standard crowd of legal eagles as soon as I posted this thread.

As for that hole in the bumper pic...

Did someone just poke out those holes that come stock in the bumper? If so, does anyone have some kind of link to that particular mounting bracket? I looked around for a while but all I can find is stuff where they want you to drill holes in your freakin' bumper. I wouldn't mind if my bumper cover already had holes. But no one has ever put any so I don't want to now. No reason to ruin a perfectly good bumper cover like that.

Also I thought about this: (but the wife doesn't want it)

If you are referring to my photo, you just pop out the little plastic circle (or square) in the bumper to gain access to where you would attach your tow hook and the license plate from screws into that... The link to where you buy it is right below the photo.
