Default New 2014 owners: front plate mounting options

I live in a two plate state and fortunately the dealer never drilled into the grille for the front plate. No advertising placeholder or anything! I just got my plates in, but luckily I still have a month to go with the temp tag so I haven't put the plates on yet.

Are there any methods to mounting the front plate without drilling? Or is there a bracket I have to use? I also have thought about using a Rho Plate but I don't think they have one for the 2014 yet. Super strong 3M double sided tape, possibly?

Update: So I decided to go the double sided tape route after reading more good than bad testimonials. I bought a small roll of 3M Extreme tape (paint section of Home Depot) and used that. I went ahead and secured the bottom of the plate with semi-loose zip ties in the event that the tape fails. So far it is holding on super strong. I blasted it with a pressure washer too earlier yesterday to see what it would do and it didn't budge
