Just stick it in your front windshield like everyone else.

I noticed someone today that had their front plate attached to the back of the passenger side sun visor. That seemed to work pretty good and was very visible, just means you'd have to have the visor down all the time. I don't know if the police would give you a hard time with that or not.

I envy the Provinces that don't need a front license plate.

I've had friends pulled over for having no license plates, I wouldn't mess around with it. That is just the way it is man.

MajikTib actually got pulled over cause he had his front license plate held on by zipties at one point. Depends on your area.

Personally I think if it's visible then it's okay. But cops don't think the same as the rest of us.

the law usually states that the plate has to be securely screwed to the car. If you did not want to drill your bumper where it could be seen, fabricate or buy a mount that can be screwed to the underside of the bumper and then bent to put the plate in the stock location.
