Front license plate bracket
In New Jersey we are required to have a front tag mounted or face a fine. In all the Lightning pics I don't see any front tags and there is front brackets. I mocked up mine with molys but I am curious what other NJ owners have done???

Correction on original post!!!
Post above should read there are NO front brackets or mounting points on the Lightning. I am concerned about cutting down air cooling by blocking the lower grill with my plates.

I know that really sucks. I got pulled over in Colorado for the same thing. (Just a Warning)
I ended up just using to self tapping alluminum screws and putting it on the front bumper.
My 99 has two little dimples but they were in the wrong place. So I just centered it under the Ford emblem on the front bumper.
It hurt like heck to do it and I vomited after making the holes and looking at it but eventually you don't notice it and get used to it.
Better to put it on and not give them a reason to pull you over and find something else.
