🔧 Dorman Help! 68148 Front License Plate Bracket in Sleek Black - Secure Your License Plate with Ease! Review

I don't give five star reviews but this license plate stiffener deserves them. I got one for each of our cars and it was money well spent. The car wash routinely crumpled our front license plates, severely bending them (breaking the license plate frame in the process). We tried a few "heavy ones". The license plate frames, and they were all rubbish - none of them could withstand a simple cleaning. Some of them broke after washing the first time. However, this thing works like magic. It stiffens

I ordered this after the car wash I use (I have a monthly subscription) finally chipped part of my front license plate. (The sides buckled with every wash and eventually one side broke off.) This was more of an OEM failure as my 2012 Nissan Murano's faceplate bracket didn't offer full panel support like the car washes. After getting the new plates, I didn't want to wash the car until I was sure the new plates would survive. I couldn't find anything at the local auto parts stores that offered…

I've been trying to keep my number plate from creasing in a car wash for a few months. I have a new car and wanted to keep it nice with one of those unlimited monthly car wash packages. So I had a shiny, beautiful new car with a horrible looking front fascia that I kept trying to bend after washing. The dealer tried heavier cymbal holders, but they broke. I bought heavy steel frames but they buckled. I saw reviews about it and tried it, but was convinced that it cannot do the job. Instead of…

Simple, reliable and very strong (steel) with many mounting options. The instructions on how to use the secure license plate brackets could have been clearer, but after digging into it, I was able to verify that the license plate and bracket were of a type that gave thieves quite a bit of time to remove both. Love the lip by three sides. It would stick to your license plate if not unscrewed. It prevents thieves from getting under the sides of the license plate. The holder prevents your pelvis…

I ended up using it to replace a car's rear license plate bracket that was rusted and chipped off. I understand it's meant for the front, but I've found turning it upside down, open side down, works for me. Holes in the back panel provided many mounting options as the car's original mounting holes were unusable. When used from the rear with the bracket inverted, the license plate is not inserted from above, which would not be possible without removing the entire bracket, but from below. Now the

I'm from California - condition of front and rear panels required - and my truck had a badly crushed front end and holes drilled all around. First owner to get it on the bumper. Then I moved to Arizona - the front license plate was not needed and the old front license plate and holder were so damaged I just threw the holder away. Then I went BACK to California and without this screwed in curved metal bracket, also drilled in weird places, there is NO way I could install the faceplate without…

I'm an Uber/Lyft driver and I drive my 2017 Toyota RAV4 through the car wash almost every day. The front number plate is held on only by the top two screws, and the underside of the number plate hangs over the front bumper, which curves underneath. The car wash brushes warped my plate every time and ruined the decorative clip I was using. I can't just take it off because my passengers will be looking for it when I stop to pick them up. The Dorman mount has been a great solution so far. It is…

I have a new Mazda CX-5 with a front license plate hanging under the bumper in front of the air intake. As far as I know, this machine does not have an OEM front mount. On previous cars I have found that after years of high speed winds and automatic car washes hitting the license plate, the front license plate can eventually bend. I wanted to find a plate mount/mount that would provide some support behind the plate. After scouring the internet for plate mount options, I finally settled on…
