Default Front license plate

Purchased new 08 bright silver roadster today. 08 models do not have the indentation insets for drilling the license plate holder in, so I decided to see if there is another way to install the front license plate holder. I may use the hard plastic "mor-loc" fastening system to afix to bumpe to plate holder.
My question is, Is there another license plate holder for the front bumper that may be attached from underneath the bumper so I do not have to drill holes into the front bumper?
Thanks, Nick

Do a search, someone came up with an ingenius way to mount the license plate with brackets thru the lower grills and attaching to the horn mounts. Just don't remember who

Just don't drill holes in the bumper for the OEM bracket!

I never put a front plate on my vehicles, it totally ruins the look. And yes it is illegal to not have one here in CT and cops are jerks here. But not that big of jerks. I say run without it and if you get a $60 ticket so what, its totally worth it for the uncluttered look. Plus the likelyhood of getting another ticket is pretty low.

That's my theory here in Illinois as well.
NO FRONT PLATE on my car either but the law says must display.
I don't follow all the laws either.
