Looking for the best no drill license plate holder for the x5 LCI.

I’m looking at slybrackets but the LCI doesn’t have horizontal or mesh grill. Picture below.

Any ideas???

Use double-sided tape on the oem holder instead of screws?

Trying to get something on the grates away from the bumper all together

So off to the either side? They had kits for mounts that screw into the tow hole, just make sure it won't cover your parking sensor

I messaged slybrackets and they answered immediately. They do have a specific bracket for the LCI with the few vertical slats.
It sits off to the side a bit.

How did the sly bracket work out? Just bought a LCI x6 and need a front plate in Texas and don’t wanna drill.

absolutely love it. they're also very responsive and will link you to the best one for your model.

I cannot stand those off-center license plate mounts. Looks so bad. You're far better off drilling your bumper and mounting your plate where the designers intended it to be.

Or roll the dice and run without a front plate. I did with multiple cars when I lived in a front plate state. Stopped only once and given a warning. I understand that CHP has zero sense of humor relative to no front plate.

I noticed in slys site that the leveler was not included but it also said not needed. Well I guess I need it on my x6. It doesn’t sit at 90degrees.
Do y’all’s hang the same way?

they say it’s not “needed” as that angle is still legal. it was like that on my M Sport X5, but I bought the leveler which is a separate purchase

Not needed but it’s ugly at that angle 😂
Thank you for the help

With the leveler you have full control over how the plate sits and where it sits.

Does it have to be installed only on the passenger bottom or can it be installed on the driver side?

I have stonshow on my mustang, it's center on the bottom part of the bumper, not bad. Unfortunately, the LCI design does not allow for Carbonio mount on the front. That's what I have on my pre-LCI.

Hey there, any chance you confirmed this with Carbonio? I have a MY25 X5 on order and asked them if their magnetic mount will work, waiting to hear back.

I had the Sly bracket on my MY 21 X5 but also didn't have DAP so I could put it center. I don't like the offset idea so hoping for a magnetic mount that I can put above the DAP sensor but below the front camera on the grill. And I want to occasionally take it off...

Thx
