Front License Plate Mount

**softbaw** · 08-27-2009, 05:49 PM

I'm trying to find a mount for my front tag so I don't have to drill in my bumper. Does anyone know where I can find one for my 09 Challenger RT? Thanks

Just use double sided tape, works like a charm and you can put it where ever you want.

one of the guys did a post here of installing suction cups to his bracket and using that. It looked good, and you can take the plate off when you wish. There was also talk of using rare earth magnets, one glued to the inside of the bumper plastic and the other to the back of the plate. They are very strong, but pose scratch hazards if they slide. Some magnets, about the size of a quarter require 20 pounds of pressure to release... You may be able to spray adhiesive on the back of the plate and put something on it to pad it, or felt for the magnets. Post up and show us what you figure out. I am just going to keep mine in the trunk....... Sorry Officer... when I cleaned the dash, I forgot to put it back...

I found the post I was speaking of... Here ya go!!!!!!!!

I actually build a custom mount that uses the spoiler mount bolts underneath the front of the car. All of the information about it including pictures are on the thread. So far the one on my car has held up great. http://lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=169770

Here is another idea... Kind a spin off of the suction cup deal for the bumper. What about pulling the tabs of the cups thru the holes in the plate, at least the top 2 and then suctioning them to the windshield at the dash? That way, there is no sliding when you go WOT. Heven't received my plates yet. I may try this though. I will not mound it to the front of the car.

I made a bracket that sandwiches the spoiler between two pieces of aluminum so there are no visible holes from the front if it is removed. Sorry I don't have any pics to post.

I mounted mine by using large plastic ties thru the bottom grill using the stock plastic bracket. Mount the bracket in this manner and then attach the license plate. The bottom of the bracket fits nicely against the lower spoiler and the sides follow the contour.

Then its always removable by just reaching around and cutting the tie.

I took the stock mount flipped it upside down, then I ran a small bungee cord through the holes in the back and I simply hook the ends of the bungee cord to the lower grill. It looks factory and does not involve drilling and is easy to remove for cleaning or showing.

Like Spin2Win and bobbyj1 said...

Take the stock license plate bracket and turn it upside down.

Then mount it on the lower grill opening (below the bumper).

You can use wire ties or bungees like they said, but I would prefer something like a toggle bolt or a butterfly bolt about 6 or 7 inches long - much sturdier (I saw someone on another forum mention using the butterfly bolts).

You also might want to consider some padding to avoid scratching the lower part of the bumper.

Move to Florida.

We don't have front plates. (at least not yet.)

be careful with wire ties and bungies. UV KILLS these things, the bungies will dry rot and you plate will fall off... the wire ties will get very hard and brittle and your plate will fall off.
