License plate side mount

Hey guys, I see some cobalts with the license plate on the side above the fog light and I really like the look of it. The only thing is, there is no way I am putting holes in my bumper to do it. Do you guys know any good ideas of how i should go about doing this ? Let me know!! Thanks

I think most people buy a bracket that mounts under the bumper. Pretty sure it still requires holes but they're out of sight.

I was thinking about getting one of these. It mounts it on the side and you can slide it under the bumper for shows or whatever. They also make a power version with a remote.

i made a custom bracket for my plate ... mounts to the bottom of the lip with 2 "L" brackets and some other supporting brackets lmao

mine is to the right(more towards center) of the passenger fog light.


i put 5 furniture anti-scratch things on the back side of the plate so it dnt scratch the bumper when it leans backwards

I have a dent in the same spot,just a lot smaller, I don't get how someone opens their door into my car there, idiots. I want to get it fixed but at the same time I know it'll mean the entire back side of the car needs to be resprayed.
