No front license plate mount - damn

[BarryB]

2005 300 Limited...

Just got new license plates today, required front in Colorado. I've taken my fascia off twice so I know what it looks like intimately, but I did not see the forest through the tree's until just now.

There's no front plate mount! (and I think a bolt-on would look terrible).

So doing searches on the forums have not shown me anything other than the hideaway from swifty. Anyone have any other ideas how to mount a front plate without trashing the great looking front I have?

You could try suction cups behind the mount or magnets. If you use magnets you'll have to epoxy a piece of sheetmetal on the backside of the bumper where you want to stick the mount.

I just went through this......I gave up and mounted the plate.....the ticket just isn't worth it.Oh yeah......if you pick up a small bracket from Autozone it looks 1000x better than that POS that the factory uses.The small bracket will fit between the grill and lower opening without blocking either.

I did find a stainless stand-off that looks to mold around the V point in the middle and slope back for a flush fit, $65 bucks, I might go that route if I can't find anything else. I'm going to crush it anyway on the first high-curb I whack or pull it off when I back up - LOL. Looks like the fascia has been pulled off like that before. My Sebring was the worst being so low. I bought it used and the fascia was totally ripped off and hanging. After a few repairs with the plastic pop rivets I ended up bolting that sucker on.

Or I might wait for the ticket and then do something about the plate mount later.

Who was it that made the removable one that snapped on and off? I want one like that.
