    Did a quick search and didn't find...

    Just picked up my plates today and took a look at the supplied front plate holder and the directions say to screw it into the bumper. Egads. Seriously? There has to be a non-invasive alternative. Right?

    Every modern vehicle (i.e. vehicles with plastic bumpers) that I know of requires you to drill into the plastic bumper to mount the front license plate bracket. It's just the name of the game now.

    There are some "No Drill" universal options out there on Amazon, but they just 3M double sided tape or something equally sketchy. Nothing that would prevent theft.

    I've got a no drill solution on the Vette with plastic bumper, but that won't work here. That one has brackets that fasten onto a piece of the grille.

    Cool product. I think that website must be one of the levels of hell.

    I am working on my own solution with my 3D printer. This kind of design takes a fair number of iterations as I see how things fit and come up with new ideas. If and when I come up with a satisfactory design, I'll post it up on Thingiverse and Prusa Printables.

    Nice product but I don't like the idea of blocking airflow through the main grille on the 2022+ Tundra example. Worst website ever. Or close to it.
