Front License Plate Mount that looks good and high quality?

[MountainBikeDude]

It does.

Is it that bad? Is that why people are searching out alternatives?

I live in a state with front license plate requirements and didn't want to mess around with aftermarket license plates. I installed the factory license plate mounting kit via drilling holes in the bumper and called it a day. If you go this route make sure you enable the 360 camera before permanently mounting it as if you install it where it appears it needs to be it blocks the camera. I had to install mine much lower than I thought to in order to not block the camera.

I'm getting one in BC legal or not, as I'm assuming the Rivian won't come with a front mount.

It comes w/the truck, SC asked me if I wanted it mounted, I said no and they left it in the frunk.

I also live in a state that requires it, but chose to not have Rivian install the plate mount for me and instead MacGyvered a mount for my tow hook. Ideal? Nope. $40 all in? Yup. Easy to take off now that I have my inspection sticker? Yup…. Does not interfere with any sensors or cameras over there.

I would have loved to be able to do this, but unfortunately for me I travel through a lot of small texas towns on road trips and cops absolutely love giving tickets for minor BS like not having a front plate. Gotta get that small town revenue in somehow.

I am going the vinyl replica route and keeping the real plate in the vehicle. It is not the legal route, but I don't expect to get pulled over because of it and I am at least trying to provide the required information in the required place.

I have no idea who to use, but this is the first result on Google:

No, but installation requires punching holes in the bumper cover, something many don't want to do.

I have the BrainExploder one and like it. No interference with cameras (which wasn't a functional issue but bothered me with the SnapPlate one), looks great.

BuiltRight has a cool CNC steel one that mounts to the same place as the BrainExploder one: Pre-Order: Rivian License Plate Mount | Rivian R1T & R1S (2022+) - BuiltRight Industries

I’ll just have Rivian install/mount it. It’s an option.

I went with this idea and has worked well. For me at least just took a little bit of time to nudge the mount so it doesn't block any sensors. Probably the cheapest solution if you already have the front mount from Rivian.

Not a huge fan of covering up the hooks with a plate. I'll likely just go the sticker route. I do love Builtright's rack system though.

I doubt the STL is publicly available, Brainexploder is still selling the bracket on their site.

This is the solution I used and it seems to be secure and also easy to remove the plate if needed.

I looked at that but at $10 more than the Built Right (and you have to supply your own OEM bracket) it seems like a terrible value now.

I've never been a value buyer lol. I wanted something simple and in stock... also, isn't built right $10 more?

I think the Brainexploder is $85 and the Built Right is $75 if I remember correctly.
