Living here in Texas state law sez ya gotta have a front license plate or risk a $200.00 fine. I didn't want to drill no stinkin' holes in my bumper so today I came up with a way to mount a front license plate on our Crossfires' without using fasteners.

First thing is get the OEM front license plate holder part number 0YA51XS9AA


Then get these Frog Feet Suction cups off Amazon. These cups have some sticky reusable polymer on the edge and hold really well. Plus the diameter is just right without protruding past the edges of the holder.


Once you have the cups remove the hooks off of two of them with some needle nosed pliers.

Drill two 1/2" holes in the recessed areas on the license plate holder. A Unibit works great for this.

Push the suction cups into the hole from the back. It's a very tight fit but a little silicone spray makes it easier.

Drill the 4 holes into the holder to mount the plate and install that.

Clean any wax, bugs etc off the front of the bumper.

When you go to stick the holder on make sure the little pull tabs are facing towards the sides. I found that if you hold them out while pushing the center it lays flatter.

Make sure the bottom edge of the suction cup is not hanging below the lower character line of the bumper or it won't stick for long.

The top of the holder should be about a 1/4 above the top character line.

For safety run two 11" zip ties through the plate and the lower grill

Stand back, drink a beer and enjoy your new license plate holder.
