So, where does the front license plate mount?

In California we are required to run a front license plate.
Between modular bumpers, driving lights, winch placement, recovery points and parking sensors, camera (and even different grills), where do you think the best place is to mount a standard size front license plate?

Maybe a hinged door (like the old rear license plates did to access the fuel filler) mounted over the winch area so it could flip up or down?

Great! After just a few searches there are lots of ready made solutions!

probably on the center over the vent. I am glad my state doesn't require them, they ruin aero and they ruin the design of vehicle

Does California enforce it? I've driven my mustang in Texas for four years and even being pulled over no one has mentioned my lack of front plate.

I'm in CA, and the front plate from my F150 has been in the bed for about 3 years (since an unfortunate encounter with a fire hydrant :ROFLMAO:), and I haven't had a problem so far, even when I got pulled over.

DPS pulled me over in south Texas for no front plate. I had recently installed a winch and hadn't gotten the plate back on. Turned out he really wanted to talk about my bronco II. I installed the plate below the winch that day.
