Mine is a different bumper, but I'm working on figuring something out too.
After 2-1/2 years and living in 3 states that require a front, I finally got pulled over for it. Just got a warning though

use some zipties and secure it that way, i have been looking at that same bumper and trying to figure out how its going to work as well.
its either that bumper or that bumper and the prerunner
too many damn options
but i am thinking about that middle section, then prerunner in the front
and AEV rear bumper and tire carrier for the rear

Just check the bond for snugness whenever you wash the Jeep or check the oil. Of course, we all know JK owners who do neither.....

For what its worth, I tore my license plate off while off roading and threw it in the back of the truck. Got pulled over on the way home and the cop wouldn't let me go until it was mounted again. After digging around in the truck for a bit, I found some blue RTV silicone sealant, applied liberally to the back of the plate, pressed it into place, and gave the cop a big cheesy grin. I kinda forgot about it when I got home and always had something better to do than mount the plate properly. However, about 4 years later when I sold the truck and yanked the plate off, it came off pretty clean. I probably wouldn't recommend this method, but it worked, so I figure a decent adhesive would do the trick just fine. As far as someone stealing it, if they really want the plate, they probably have a screwdriver with them anyway so the adhesive might throw them off. As far as the magnet approach goes, it works, but most states require the plates to be firmly affixed to the vehicle, and a magnet is not firmly affixed, so you might run into some problems there.

I have been meaning to get this done myself. Installed my RR bumper in January or early february and still have not gotten to it. It is still sitting under my driver seat. knocking on woods right now, still have not gotten any problem from cops. Probably becasue I live 3 miles from PA border and PA doesnt require front license plates. NY sucks!!!!!!
