    I just installed one of those today (just got my MN plates). Luckily my truck came from AL so no holes to patch. I'm going to have to relocate for a 30" light bar in the lower grill area, though.

    The no drill is an absolutely brilliant design.

    Our Tacoma did not come with front license plate mount, and we live in a state that wants you to have one. I did not really care, but my wife insisted. Someone here posted about this guy:
    http://www.slybrackets.com/store/

    I went to order the mount and his page DEFAULTS to two day shipping. The price blew me out of my seat. When I figured out the problem I was able to choose another shipping option and ordered it.

    The mount is really easy to install, and I really like the idea of no holes in the bumper. We have taking it through a car wash that ripped off a mud flap, but the front license plate was still there. I think that says a lot about the product.

    Just my $0.02

    I have a Nfab light bar and had to mount mine lower. I bought a plastic mounting plate at Auto Zone and used long wire ties to secure it to the lower grill opening.

    There are cheaper options than the no drill, but IMO nothing slicker. I've got an engineering degree, and I'm blown away by the ingenuity. The guy is a thinker! I looked at it and can't imagine a way to do it better slicker or cheaper. No improvements I can dream of.

    I didn't get mine from LMC. I bought it off of ebay. It was a genuine Mopar item. I included a link for a replacement part that I just saw on ebay. There are a lot of them.

    I bought a plate bracket for a 2011 Corolla off ebay for $20. Looks factory and used the same dimples as on my 2014. However, I took it off awhile back to wash behind it and it had scratched my clear coat a little.
