Thinking about going with this...appreciate the demo that shows no interference with proximity alerts:

Rivian Tow Hook License Plate Mount (Pre-Order) | brainexplodermerch

Don't know if there are any out there yet...site says pre-order.

Of course, here in WA it may be months before I have a plate to put in it...good to plan ahead...

Comments and reactions appreciated.

The drill in plate mount just goes into the black plastic part of the bumper. I don't have a parts diagram, but I assume that part is a separate part number and individually replaceable from the other components of the bumper. How much could that piece cost? $80?

If you need the flexibility of running with or without a plate, both this and the snap plate seem to be good options. This looks like a very quick way to remove the plate. I'd be concerned about it accidentally getting knocked off, getting stolen, or falling off with a good bump, on or off road.

This looks pretty great! I have a vendetta against front plates, but even I would run this if I were forced to.

However, being in CA with no front plates I've only had 1 ticket in 10 years, so I will continue to not run one.

You know what? With how easy it is to take on and pull off I may buy one anyway and keep it in the frunk.

I never take my car (always take the wifes) to LAX because they will ticket with no front plate, with this I could just throw it on very easily and not have to worry about it.
