    So many vehicles in those 20 states don’t even have a front plate holder at all because they were either removed by the dealer or didn’t come with them in the first place.

      Yeah I bought a new car last year and it doesn’t even have a mounting spot. it’s not a big deal not having two plates I’m sure one of the other 600 cameras on the drive will get me.

      For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross. I’d have to drill holes into the front or buy a bracket that’d be lopsided.

        So what? That’s how it’s done at the factory too. I am also opposed to front plates but drilling into the bumper is no big deal

          Because front plates look like shit and Id rather not have to drill into my car just to make it easier on the cops?

          That’s how it’s done at the factory too.

          Wow no kidding.

        I used two self-tapping sheet metal screws when we moved from a single-plate-on-the-back state to a double-plate state.

        There’s no holder but…. That’s pretty much decorative anyway.
