there are a lot of vehciles made without a way to attach a front license plate, and that won't pose a problem in California anymore. It's now legal in California to get a vinyl wrap sticker of your plate from License Plate Wrap, and not drill into the bumper anymore to attach a frame

Just go to the LPW’s site https://licenseplatewrap.com/ and choose from one of eight different license plate designs. Each design is a standard California license plate, from a regular plate to a veteran plate. You can even choose some of the legacy designs like black and yellow or the coastal plate with a blue whale’s tail on it. After choosing a design, you input your vehicle information, license plate number, your address, and the vehicle’s mileage. Four to six weeks later, your plate wrap arrives in the mail with instructions on how to install it.

  

In 2014, the State of California passed a bill tasking the DMV to find alternatives for license plate mounts as a cost-cutting measure. That’s when License Plate Wrap rose to the challenge and presented its bid to the state. The bid was accepted, and in 2015, the Huntington Beach-based LPW wraps passed testing by the California Highway Patrol, and the pilot program was launched
