Front License Plate

[jkdenson]

Stupid, unimportant question... I know.

I bought a decorative, collegiate license plate for the front of my car. It then took me four different tries to get the correct screws. I go to put it on last night and realize the holes on my vehicle are farther apart than the license plate.

In looking to buy one I don't remember there being much emphasis on the length between the holes; I assumed it was a universal size. Has anyone else had this problem?

The holes are probably there for a bracket that the plate attaches to. I have one on the front of my 2019 ORP.

Yeah, what GG said. Those holes are for the bracket. Should be able to pick one up at at salvage yard.

yup. i drilled new holes into the license plate. and while i took the 10 minutes to do that, the NYPD came and gave me a ticket for not having a front license plate.

Well that sucks.

I bought my 4R without a Toyota front plate bracket and bought one of these instead of paying crazy OEM parts prices:

Works great!
