I need to add a front license plate on my 2006 Acura RL Tech Package, and I am coming from a state that didn't require front license plates. I have searched the forums on here extensively and haven't found any reference to anybody using the tow-hook front license plate mount approach. I would really prefer to not have to drill any holes in my bumper to install the front license plate. I have searched the threads on here and haven't found any mention of anybody else installing through the tow-hook kits. It seems like the simplest method for installing it, and requires no permanent modification of the bumper. I have been searching extensively for a kit, and have ordered two through Amazon that were supposedly a fit for this, but neither of them worked (both of the threads were way off).

Has anybody installed a kit like this on their 2nd gen RL? If so, how did it work and where did you get it? If these kits don't exist, what is the best no-drill method to install a front license place on a 2nd Gen RL?

Thanks for your help!

The OEM front license plate mount does not require drilling holes in bumper. If you look at the horizontal slats below the painted bumper, you'll see screw threads, where the plate mount would go.

Thank you so much! That is great to hear and seems to solve the mystery! From what I could find, the OEM part is 71145-SJA-000. Does that look correct? Again, thank you!

Yes, I believe so.
