A couple people have bought the Kentrol shackle mounted bracket with good results. There's a thread on here with pictures of it mounted.
Just fine. Almost a year and no stops so far. This is my 3rd vehicle that I've refused to put a front plate on and I've only ever been stopped once... in my bosses truck... like 15 years ago. At this point I'm convinced that TX officers/troopers don't care enough to take time out of their day to pull someone over for it. Either that or the FD stickers help more than I realize.
I've heard of one person who didn't have a feont license plate get cited while parking in Portland.
Yeah, Texas has typically treated it as "a reason," if they are looking for a reason to stop you, but won't just pull you over to cite your for just not having a front plate. I was stopped twice in my Lightning for no front plate, mainly because of how it looked on the outside to anyone not familiar with them. Once the LEOs realized I wasn't a thug and was just some average guy, they both said "get it fixed" and let me go with just a verbal.
Miss my Lightning. They never got me for the plate, but I got stopped twice for my tint and once because a local pd was curious why there were flames coming from my exhaust. Glad that one wasn't a trooper because he was actually just a car guy and interested in checking it out
Here's the page. In the picture you can see the two little mounting screws at the center top row of the MLok style mounting holes. I mounted mine using the bottom middle hole so that the plate and bracket sit up and out of the way of the recovery hook. You can mount it on the left side of the bumper as well if you prefer.
