Bought our sGrandTouring in Pa: no front plate. Just discovered there's no license plate holder in the front. So, I'm researching where to put it.

They sell one (no drill) that screws into where the tow hook goes. Not thrilled about that location.

The ideal location appears to be just below the emblem in the front. There's a blank area that stops air flow there anyway. Looks like that is where it is designed to go.

Guess just buy a generic license plate frame, drill a couple holes and attach to the plastic grill section just below the emblem?

not having any of this in fl.. but I did run across those motorized plate holders that flip and pull back the plate when you want. usually they use a less than ideal remote button so I would def find one that I can hookup to be automatic, ie sensing power over the aux port.

 

I ended up putting the front plate on just below the emblem. On CX-5s, they typically mount the plate just below the grill, in front of the middle of the lower grill section.
