Here's my favorite location for the front plate. (that is, if you can't keep it under the seat).

i keep our second plate in the garage. shes been pulled over twice for no front plate. if your pulled over you can say when you bought the car it didnt have one and hell instruct you to get one. or you can say you recently had front end repair and the bodyshop has your old plate/didnt reinstall it. then again you could always get the cop whos having a bad day and he gives you a fix-it-ticket.

Actually as ugly as the mount looks it sticks out nearly 2 inches from the bumper so that when some yokel backs into you as they're trying to parallel park they don't scuff it up, they just bang into that and bend the front tag.

Can still be ordered from a Chrysler Dealer for between $20 - $30. Bought mine in March.

By installing that front license plate you'll have done more damage and lowered the value of your six than all the bolt ons I have. At least I'll have an 11 sec timeslip to show for it. So if you don't plan on modding because of devaluing the car, then don't install the plate. Consider the tickets an investment in the six. In all seriousness search youtube for the flipping front plate. That should work fine.

Nooooooo!!!!!

I would have traded your my front end with liscense plate holder for yours... can't stand the thing on there, even if they do require it in all the states I've lived in with this car.

Look at it this way, you now have an excuse to move to a state that only requires one tag

I installed an ALTEC FLIP DOWN LICENSE HOLDER ..... sorry don't have link, but if you search you'll find it. Comes motorized with a remote, or just flip down by hand. No visible holes in bumper .....Works great...

Really like the idea of a flip down with no visible holes.

Was thinking I would double stick it and zip tie somehow behind it, but that sounds pretty JV and don't think it would stand up too wind and weather.

You lose clearance underneath, though. We got 2 of those, which work great, but they got killed by steep driveways. Maybe manual ones next time.
