The original license plate bracket, which was shipped with the car, did 
indeed require drilling into the front bumper, something which nobody today 
would want to do. Most have been discarded along the way and never installed. 
I've only seen one, personally. They are pictured in the parts manual and 
the service bulletins manual, BTW.

I too am a NJ owner not using a front tag. I got the aftermarket bracket, 
but couldn't mount it... my bolts are pretty rusted under there. I was told 
by a couple of people that if I keep the second tag in sight inside the car, 
I can get away with it. That's what I do, I leave it in back of the cargo net 
with the fire extinguisher. Went through inspection that way too. And I'm a 
daily driver. So far, I've never been pulled over. And I like the tagless 
look better. If you'd want to get a bracket anyway, contact me off the 
list. I have my 19 month old stainless steel one, still wrapped im plastic, 
and I'd make you a deal.
