Was a pain in the ass to take the bumper off. But I think it came out great. All held by magnets, epoxy and gorilla tape. Tried to upload a video, but said it was too big. I can't take the credit for this idea, saw it on YouTube from this guy

Could you please sure where you got the magnets and what epoxy brand you used, I think this is the route I would like to go

Sure the magnets I got were from k&j magnetics. Just a warning these magnets are EXTREMELY strong, they will pinch the crap out of u and u will need something to separate them if they connect and if the attach with a lot of force they can break. So use caution and stay focused when dealing with them. My pinky is still healing from being pinched. Caused a bruise and and open wound.

Part numbers for the magnets I got were:
2x RX034DCSPC-BLK
1x BCC4DCSPC-BLK 1x
2x DX06-N52 2x
1x BCC6

Then I got the screws from boltdepot

3x Part # 1238 - Machine screws, Phillips flat head, Stainless steel 18-8, #6-32 x 1/2"

3x Part # 2550 - Hex lock nuts nylon insert, Stainless steel 18-8, #6-32

The epoxy I used was from harbor freight and tools 90 sec cure
https://m.harborfreight.com/1-oz-instant-setting-super-adhesive-epoxy-96034.html

U will have to do some modifications to the OEM license plate holder on the square area. I just use a razor blade and chopped off the middle that stuck out. And I modified the plastic bracket that is on the inside of the bumper where the magnets were seated. I used a dremel with the sanding wheel.
See the pics for how it looks.

So I ended up going with @slybrackets and even though I didn’t want to put a front plate on the car I guess this will have to do, hopefully no issues with cooling

I am not too sure. I took the mount into home depot and try out what it would fit.

Hey guys... just purchased a Type R and will need to install front plates. Is the option suggested here for using 3M tape good for the paint when u want to remove the plates?

I did mine using "Bell Automotive 22-1-46230-8 Adjustable License Plate Frame Mounting Bracket" & "Cruiser Accessories 81430 Locking Fasteners License Plate Frame Hardware, Stainless Rattle Stop Kit". No cutting, no trimming, no need to remove bumper.

Please pay attention to bracket used for base mount in "Step 1".
Take caution after "Step 2". You don't want to setup it up the way as in the image after.
I put neoprene strips behind the plate to protect the bumper. You should too.

Thank you for posting this! I recently got a ticket for not having front plates and i had that same bracket on my old car years ago and decided to do the same. Not as clean as how you did it but this is just a temporary fix for now so chp can sign me off

How did you tighten up the bolts? Did you have to take off anything or just squeeze your fingers in?

Spent a few minutes drawing something up the day I picked up the R since I didn't want to go through shapeways and needed something quick.

Back piece slides though the front grill, and has holes for a zip tie to slide and hole so it doesn't fall and become lost.

Back plate from amazon or Canadian tire less then 10$, spaced holes according to specs, but the plate was off by about half a cm; nothing a drill and clippers couldn't fix.

I'll put up the file if anyone wants it.

A big +1 for SlyBrackets BozzMounts!

Super happy with this license plate relocate bracket set! Easy install on my Civic Type R and very sturdy. Looks great!

Looks good, but should have placed it on the other grill instead of blocking the horn.

In my particular area of Southern California, cops are hit and miss regarding plates. California law states that front license plates need to be mounted in the OEM location, regardless if the holes are drilled or not. I'll probably end up getting a Top 1 Motors angled license plate holder, angled down, like I did for my Integra.

The law has all these stipulations regarding location, but none regarding the angle in which the plate is displayed. I've been pulled over by CHP and Sheriffs. Driving with a group of friends who all had no front plates, we all got pulled over as a group. I was the only one to walk away without a ticket because technically, my plate was legally mounted and displayed.
