Here in MO, where our politicians owe favors to their brother-in-law the license plate manufacturer, we have to have front plates and so Missouri dealers install the "bracket" which can often be found wrapped in plastic and sitting inside the trunk of the new car on the dealer's lot.
There must be an official installation that calls for rivets. However, the one on my '95 (original owner) was screwed on. It was easy for me to replace after an idiot backed his truck into it. Fortuntately for me the "bracket" saved the bumper facia from damage!

thanks for the information...i took a 2nd look,the license holder is definately rivited to the bumper..i'm wondering if i can even get my hands behind there to re-attach ???? do the screws on yours just go into the ruber bumper or is there a steel plate...i'm guessing i could just drill out the rivits and screw it back on ??? thanks
