Default Front license plate holder

What, where, and how do you get and mount a front bracket to hold a front license plate on the 2nd generation dakota's.

If you can't find anything aftermarket, a wrecking yard or dealership is probably the best bet for something that's made to fit. Texas requires a front plate, so all vehicles sold here have a front mount for the license plate.

Mine is broken too. I am guessing the dealership here should have them. Hav never seen them anywhere else.

You can always fab something up, I made one to snap on my fairlead out of a $5 flashlight bracket and a piece of aluminum. Did a DIY as a matter of fact:

They just take a couple of license plate screws & dig right into the bumper cover. You dont' really need to buy anything. Just screw into the cover yourself.
