Contact Wyatt Arp Chrysler @ 1550 West Kingsbury Street Seguin, TX 78155

Tell the parts guy you need a front license plate bracket. They were standard equipment in most states.

Don't do it! I've never had a problem without one.

If you're gonna put one on do it like +fireamx shows in the pictures. I bought a Crossfire from Ohio down here in Florida which has no front plate, Ohio does.

There was two holes drilled in the front bumper, and whomever drilled them missed the center by about 1/2 inch. I has to use some large plastic fender rivets and paint them to color match after redrilling and trying to give the appearance of being more centered ... wadda mess.

I live in Ohio and have had my roadster for a few weeks. The car came from Michigan so no front plate was ever put on it. Just cannot get myself to put it on ....may just take a chance and hope I don't get picked up for it. Hate the look of front plates.

The previous owner gave me the OEM plate mount he never used, but I don't want to go that route as it requires drilling.

Instead, I am going to try this route first - 3M Dual Lock. Bought 8 strips on eBay for $3.50. This stuff is what EZPass provides with its transponders to stick the transponder to vehicle windows. I have done a little bit of reading and some online stores sell pieces of this stuff as "license plate mounts - no drilling required". I am going to test it and will update this thread.

The 3M Dual Lock is essentially really strong velcro made out of plastic (no fuzz). The good about it: cheap, low profile, sturdy, waterproof (will test that), alternative to screw mounts. The bad: not secure from theft (anyone could come up and pull off your front plate - but this is not really a concern of mine since I usually drive my car in pretty "safe" areas, and I guess you could always pull off the plate and put it in your car if you were worried about some place you had parked), not sure how adhesive will affect Crossfire paint.

Picture with the front plate mounted using 3M Dual Lock.

EDIT - yes that's a Nissan GT-R next to mine
