Where will the front license plate go?

I, too, live in Texas and CANNOT stand having a plate on the front. It just visually looks very unappealing. However, I do understand why they want it done, but I'm not willing to comply with that, so... Here is what I do. Go to Home Depot/Walmart or anywhere that sells little packages (usually 2-4 per pack) suction cups. You can purchase the smallest ones they offer.
Place the rear of the of the suction cup in the hole from front of the plate. Do this on all 4 corners of the plate. Now suction the plate to the lowest part of the middle of the windshield (obviously with the plate number facing forward). You CAN see the plate when oncoming to the vehicle, so cops shouldn't pull you over. I also keep a copy of the plate law printed out in every one of my vehicles. Nowhere does it say that it has to be physically attached to the bumper. Just says that it needs to be visible from the front.
Yes, you can just jam the plate down in the crevasse between the windshield and dash, but over time it will actually scratch the dash when it moves. I've never once had the suction cup option come off fully. Sometimes one will pop, but I just stick it back in and no more worries.
I did have one cop argue with me about my suction cup idea, and actually gave me a ticket, but I went to court and won. Ha! Guy was a douchebag.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
