So that you don't have an ugly plate and holder hanging off the front bumper.

This does not address your desire of a motorized bracket, but is a true "no drill" plate bracket that is easy to take on and off. I have several of them (they have different depth lengths), that I use to get our annual state inspection....

Honestly guys, i think it's time to grow up for some of you.
It's a front plate, who cares, everyone in your state probably has one. If it's the law, it's the law.
If for some reason you need it off for a show, get a bracket that undermounts and simply unscrew it.
I got over it a long time ago. When i was younger i refused on my saleen explorer, i got stopped all the time. Difference is that i didn't blame the cops, i knew i was at fault.
Seems kinda ironic that you guys are tossing weed and alcohol out the windows, yet claim the cops are pointlessly harassing you.
I had my share trouble behind the wheel as a youth, but i'm honest about it, i'd say 95% of them in some way shape or form was my fault and when you are wrong that often, that number might was well be 100%.

I'm not in a state that requires a front plate (thankfully). If I end up in one tho, I won't be opening up the holes in the front bumper for a plate. I think I'd be looking for something that mounted from underneath or behind at that point.

I did see one option that makes use of the tow hook recpeticle on the front of the car. That would be ok too.

That's cool...The plate thing that is. No cop is pulling me over. If there is one thing that drives me crazy is cops searching a car. I don't do anything either, but I tell my daughter to say NO. Too many times as a kid in Mass. the cops would go through my car. Although back then I was drunk and high. Pouring out beers, and dumping bags of weed. Funny how they don't find that funny anymore.

Are you serious @Potomus Pete ? Cops searching for your car, pulling you over and going through it because your driving around drunk and high and they are the bad guys?

I was eighteen years old. Back then drunk driving wasn't that big of a deal. What year would that be. Oh about 1980 in a small town in Massachusetts where everybody knew everybody

Dont wanna 'damage' the car. Pay the extra for the mount.
Nice to have choices.
OP was more bout hiding a plate.

I have never had a plate on the front of any of my cars. I have never been pulled over for no front plate. I also carry a front plate in the pocket on the back of the drivers seat. It is beat up and looks like it has been run over. That way if I am ever pulled over, I have a plate that I can show the popo that "fell off" the front of the car and I have not yet had the chance to re-attach it.
If after 40 years of never being pulled over for no front plate, (living in 5 different States) I doubt that I will have to employ that tactic.
It may have something to do with not driving like an idiot, but WTF do I know...

I’ll chime in here too - I’ll go back to 1995 when I bought a brand new Trans Am. If you know that nose of the car…… the front plate don’t belong. I told the dealer if I come to pick it up and there’s holes drilled in the nose, I will not be signing the papers. No plate bracket when I got there
Only time I got hassled for the lack of a plate was one time in a DWI checkpoint - it was easy pickings for a citation even though I wasn’t drinking.

Exactly, it's not about hiding anything. I'm not drilling through the bumper cover on my new paint
