Front License plate bracket?
Front License plate bracket?
I am new to the site. My son's MX3 came to Ohio from Florida. The Buckeye State requires a front plate. Where or how do I get a bracket and how does it mount? Thanks for the help.

there should be two small indents in the bumper. here's a pic of the front of mine to show you the position of them. btw, only the top is screwed in.

there is a small metal plate on the inside of the bumper (maybe) that is threaded. There should also be two small holes for the screws to go through (exactly like Ovendenks picture). If the holes have been filled in and the plate is missing you could just drill your own holes and you should be fine.
Personally I like my car without the plate. Even though it's illegal around here too, cops won't tag you for it unless your being an a--. Not to mention it's only $10 ticket.
Also, if your apologetic and polite to a cop who has just pulled you over they generally will give you the fix it ticket over whatever you messed up on.

I believe it's a 6mm threaded bolt. Hopefully it hasn't been compromised by improper mounting bolts.markbrad wrote:I need to get the plates next week. I found the two indented areas on the bumper face. What kind and size screws? Are they threaded machine screws or a large sheet metal like screw? Thanks for the help.

I drilled through the two dimples in the bumper face and saw a metal plate. The 6MM x 1.0 screw threaded in a couple pf turns then stopped. I never could determine if it was the correct thread or not. Unfortunately the plate ended up falling into the bumper. Bigger holes squared off and plastic inserts solved the problem.
