Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a "No Drill" front license plate bracket that will fit a 2012 Shelby GT500?

My new car should arrive sometime this week, and obviously the last thing I want to see is the front bumper getting drilled just for a front license plate...

Saw a cool one on a mustang last year at the WI Dells cruise. It was a remote controlled front bracket that was under mounted and folded away out of sight when retracted. Seems perfect for not marring the front end just to accommodate the state of MNs desire to have front plates.

HELLFYR fabricated ours from scratch but I seem to remember it was based on one he had seen. Hopefully he can chime in a suggestion.

Most people with the severe money investment in the GT500s wouldn't want one like what I run currently as I set it up to clip to the upper lip above the air intake entrance for the heat exchanger (so it rides along in the normal position a plate would be mounted, but about 1 to 1.5" in front of the bumper). That is clipped onto the front clip only. Because of the heat exchanger upgrade in my car, it has a little added stability.

I looked under Gary Allen's car once while it was on the lift at AVF for one thing or another, and there really isn't any other way on the GT500s to mount
a plate. The under engine area is all boxed in to provide downforce and prevent wind resistance. Not really too many options to mount something to support a plate brace.
