No-drill Front License Bracket

[Expy101]

I bought 2024 XLT out of state which did not have the front license plate bracket installed. I live in a 2 plate state and hate to drill holes in the front bumper. I came across 2 options and was curious what everyone's experience was with them. Are they sturdy, block any sensors, etc? Any other options?

Well, I don't have any experience with either of these, but if it was me, I would go for that 2nd one, unless you (or your state laws) absolutely insist on having the plate in the center, of course.....with the added benefit of not blocking airflow to the intercooler (if your vehicle is so equipped), as noted in the description.

That 1st one just looks too much like a wall mount for a flat screen TV IMHO

My Expy already had the holes in the bumper when I bought it, from the previous owner's plate install, even though PA does not have a 2-plate requirement, but it is allowed if the owner so desires...

My vote is for the Mishimoto. Looks cleaner.

... or move to a State where you only need one plate. lol

Thanks for the feedback. I'm working hard to move out of NJ.

The first one was popular with the Durango crowd, though I never purchased one. The advantage to it is that the plate is removable which might be important if you take your vehicle to car shows. OTOH, it may also be way too easy to steal your plate from the first one.

Dont come to Mass. Cross it off your list U need to have both front and rear license plates. You cant have window tint darker than 35%.

I had the front license plate bracket and it fell off. They had it riveted and it just pulled through. I bought that 2 way tape they use to mount the emblems and used that to put the bracket back on.
