    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.

        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.

        “lopsided” font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)
