    We are no longer required to have a front license plate in Ohio. The first thing I did was rip my rusted front plate off. Now I have a ugly piece of plastic screwed into my front bumper with rust stains. I yanked that off too but now I have 2 holes drilled into my front bumper that looks like crap on my 17 Tacoma. I guess I'm going to put another plate of some sort back on the front.
    I'm looking for ideas. Maybe something with a Toyota theme. What do you guys have?

    I envy you guys.

    Put some plugs in the holes and be happy?

    This was my solution for our front plate, you might do something like this, but nicer, for a plate that you actually care about. Haha!

    You could always get an aftermarket plate bumper.

    Why didn’t you use the factory front plate mount? It’s a lot more attractive than that setup.

    I was happy to remove the stupid front plate too but thankfully don't have any holes to fill on my truck.

    Hah! I figured you moved out west from a state that didn’t have front plates and might not realize there’s a OEM solution. Glad you’re happy with your setup.

    For my tastes I think it looks pretty stout. I much prefer it over directly mounting a plate to the bumper.
