I am also searching for a no drill front license plate holder. This is one I am considering which mounts on the front tow hook. Link + PDF

The only downside I see would be if you need to be towed but its a one screw attachment.
Wonder if anyone here has tried this!
I use one of Craig’s brackets.

https://ccmustangbrackets.com/

it has been on the car since late March. No issues. I followed his installation instructions to the tee including allowing 3 days cure time in temperatures <50 or 55 degrees (whichever it is) before mounting the plate.

I think my bracket is the style used until just before he introduced a revised version for MME which has the effect of raising the plate.

I raised my plate by drilling additional holes in my license plate to raise the plate about an inch out of an abundance of caution to minimize any chance of radar interference.

I had not experienced any interference but decided to be extra cautious. The bracket mount is still obscured by the plate unless you’re crawling on hands and knees under the bumper cover.

Our cars don't have a tow hook mounting point. The little pop out on our front bumper hides the emergency frunk access cables.

I got this from ebay.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/364212967327

I had some difficulty at first since the rod the guy sent was tight and I was afraid of damaging the threads in the tow hook but it went in. I used Anti Seize grease as suggested. Also note the tow hook is reverse threaded and thus tightens counter clockwise.

Then the other thing was when I first put the plate on it was too low and it made the car sensor go off that something was in front with a red bar so I repositioned as shown making sure it was as high as possible and it seems to be good now. You can see the two sensors circled in Orange that I needed to make sure it avoided... mainly the one underneath the plate.

licenseplatewrap.com but check and see if it's OK with your state MVD/DMV.

We got the Sto-n-Sho. We store it in the back of the car in case we get pulled over and need to quickly install it or so we can clear the fixit ticket you can get here in California. There's so many cars and trucks running around without front plates anyway.
