Front license plate on GT 328

Well, I got my license plates a couple of weeks ago. I mounted the back one, then went to the front to mount that (a requirement in California). There was no mounting bracket up there. Can anybody suggest one that works well on these coaches? I'm assuming that I'll need to drill some holes. Thanks!

Don't mount it on the lower grill. We did that and the gill came off and dragged for miles.

Got one of these from Walmart and it worked out pretty well. Front License Plate Bracket Holder Universal Fit All | eBay

I had my dealer install mine. Did it with no bracket. A little crooked, but not much I can do about that.

The dealer installed a bracket for me, between
The upper and lower grills.

Here is a pic of where I installed it. Notice the missing teeth/lower grill. The wind resistance caused by the license plate tore it right off.

It's kinda tacky, but mine just sets on the dashboard between the defroster vents.

All I have to say is that FR put a lot of thought into making these GTs look like Transformer faces.

Wait until you see the face I'm going to give it for Halloween. LOL

Go to Walmart or an auto parts store and get one of those simple plastic brackets that attach only to the top. They will conform to the shape of the front and look great. All you have to do is predrill the fiberglass to accept the screws.

You just reminded me of this really nice Mercedes Benz I saw once. One of the higher end ones with a big decal on the side that read, "A Touch of Class" in old English font. I'm still LMAO
