Man! Hold off on permanently mounting the front plate holder. You will "ruin" the front bumper and it will look like S#!T. Try to mount the plate holder with something secure but temporary and easily removed. I would try taping it there, get the ticket cleared, then removing it. Try not to damage the bumper. I don't run a front plate here in California and it is required. I've been pulled over twice in my CSVT and no mention of my missing front plate ever came up. I was speeding and got warnings only both times.
