Anyone started to think where they would put their front plate?

I haven't seen any tow hook slots yet in the photos I've seen, and it would be a shame to put some holes in this beautiful bumper.

front plates are for the birds

if you're gonna do that, then might as well put it on the front of the car. that's a safety hazard and a red flag when an officer looks at the front of your vehicle, but to each his own.

We don't need them here in Michigan either! But as I'm trying to relocate back to Washington State, we need them over there......but to be honest I'd rather take the ticket for no licence plate as opposed to driving this car in Michigan roads. Those who live in Michigan know exactly what I'm talking about haha.

my US residence is based in a state that requires front plate and it's never been on there since I moved there... it's been several years with no issue. and yeah, I'd for sure take the ticket and just laugh it off or "fix it."

I donā€™t run a front plate on my Tommy Kaira here in the UK. Sometime Plod use it as an excuse to find out about the car but Iā€™ll probably do the same with the Supra.

I'm going to try and get my UK car without a front plate too, just hope they'll be able to do it from factory. Would hate to have holes drilled in the bumper for the mounting points!

I live in a state where it's mandatory, but if you know the unofficial rules, you'll never get stopped. If you drive a newer car that is clean, tastefully modified and not obnoxiously loud, you're good to go. If you're bouncing around in an old ass cut-spring Civic with a fart cannon out back, you will get this ticket. It's that simple.

Now, having a nice car doesn't prevent you from getting ticketed for no front plate, but you most likely will never be stopped solely for that reason.

I havenā€™t run a front place since 1994. Iā€™ve been pulled over exactly twice for not having a front plate on. (NJ)

Have you spoken to your dealer or Toyota about this?
According to realoem.com there are actual license plate holders for each market with a part number. So I'm assuming it's mounted along the assembly line.
