Greetings all,

I bought my Crossfire a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to fixing some minor cosmetic issues. The previous owner scuffed up the underside of the front bumper and that's going to be dealt with. I live in California, a state that requires front license plates. I ordered the bracket from my local Chrysler dealer and it arrived in matte finish black plastic. Should this bracket remain black, or is it meant to be body color? I intend to have the bracket installed when they pull the front assembly for painting. If it should be body color, I can have it painted along with the bumper? What say all of you?

Thank you,

Steven

The matte black finish is the factory finish, to make it look better, have it painted the same color of the bumper, it may lessen the look of an add on part if it remains as the factory finish.


You may want to search the forum for the fold away license plate holder for the front end to avoid the holes in the bumper or attach it with industrial grade Velcro as an alternative.


Just my 2 cents, its your car.....

Personal choice made only by you, if you wish it painted have it painted. If you do, have them painted separately though. Also, I would have it marked and at least mounted ONCE before they paint either because once you try to mount one on a freshly painted facia, and you screw up (literally), your not going to be a happy camper. So, mount it once, take it off, then have both painted apart. Then all you have to do is mount it back on (carefully) and 'BOOM', no screw-ups.

 

Thanks for the insight!

 

There are better ways to mount your license plate.
