The Stillen mount is a good option.

PTuning has a similar product but it also has an optional camera (GoPro or universal) mount that attaches to the plate mount. There is a tow hook kit for it too
PTUNING Adjustable Front License Plate Relocation Kit
PTUNING GoPro Camera Mounting Kit (Add-on Kit for Lic. Plate Relocation)
PTUNING Folding Racing Tow Hook Kit (Add-on Kit)

I have the Stillen mount but I leave it off all the time. Have it in hot stand by in my trunk just in case.

If you do get the Stillen mount I recommend cutting off the corners of the plate mount. The corners are bent in towards the car so if you remove it with the mounting plate still attached to the tow hook adapter it will scratch the bumper. Even with the corners removed you still have to be careful.

VA requires a front plate but I have never been sited or harassed by the police. Even when I was pulled over for doing 91 in a 70 (went to court, got reduced to 76 in a 70 ). I think being polite and honest had something to do with that.

The only time I was hassled about my front plate was at Norfolk Naval Base. An E-3 at the gate I was going through wouldn't let me enter the base without my front plate. Thankfully there was a Norfolk cop helping at the gate and gave a "you got to be kidding me" look to the E-3 when the E-3 asked him about the front plate. Even though I made it though the gate with out it I took the 30 seconds to put my front plate on once I parked. Didn't want to tempt fate and get towed. They tow cars for stupid stuff on NOB.
