Install front license plate WITHOUT drilling holes in your bumper! This ingenious PLATYPUS PRO SERIES license plate bracket uses the front tow hook attachment point for a nice clean look.

Features

[ ] Threads built into the plate making it easier to attach the license plate
[ ] The whole plate has steel backing so that it does cannot be bent
[ ] The plate is angled to match the bumper
[ ] Only 7-pieces in the kit to greatly simplify installation (the plate and 2 pieces of hardware, and 4 screws for the plate)

A newly updated design allows the plate to mount at an 'angle' which allows it to sit closer to the bumper.

What's the difference between this 'PLATYPUS' G2NMX7300 unit and the 'No Holes' NMA2501 unit?

We get this question asked a lot - functionally, they both work very well. Many people make their selection based on their personal preference for the material and finish - Powdercoat Black vs. Stainless Steel. The Platypus Pro uses far fewer pieces, greatly simplifying the installation. Either way, they are both great products.
