Front plate alternative?
So didn't want to drill the bumper so took the front plate bracket and zip tied to grill mesh then screwed plate to the bracket. Thoughts? It's level when looking at it just pictures make it look crooked

I do what you do, but only when traveling to a place in NYC that I know is very strict about front plates.
95% of the time, I go with no front plate and never have an issue. The other 5% is for when I know ill be parking on the street and meter maids will ticket me for it. Also, you dont need to use that large bracket. I just zip tie my front plate exactly where yours is with no bracket and snip the zip ties to be as low profile as possible. I carry a bag of 200 zip ties and the plate in my trunk to be ready to put it on whenever I park in NYC public streets lol. |

I will follow your method to avoid tickets when parking on the street, as I have been driving with no front plate for months now and have been fortunate, be t I'm sure it's just a matter of time before an LEO notices.

Will it work without messing up/ tripping the sensors? |

Been using it for a year now, for the most part no issues. Tripped the front parking sensor 2-3 times since I've had it on.
