Not so bolt savy on my Patriot Sport how does the bolt stay on when you can't reach the back of the bumper? I'd hate to get that $200 ticket before I figure it out. Please help with the techy stuff. Susan in the Gorge

The holder contours nicely with the bumper and the plate is perpendicular to the ground.

There are 3 mounting holes in the plate holder along with the normal 2 holes that go thru the top of the license plate.
Since there are no mounting holes on the Patriot except for the 2 for the license plate, I used 1/4" x2" Lag bolts to hold both the plate and plate holder on.
1/4" is the normal size thread for plates, but I had to go longer to reach thru.

The plate holder looks great! I'm a bit confused, were you able to use the 2 holes the dealer made in the bumper for the license plate plus 3 other holes?

These plate holders are a good idea, I might grab one for mine even though I live a two-plate state (thankfully) - I paid the extra fee for vanities so I might as well get double the visibility!

By the way, does anyone else wish that the liftgate had 4 mounting holes for the license plate, like the Cherokee did? Plates have been known to be stolen in my neighborhood, so I use theft-resistant bolts, but they're more effective when there's 4 of them.

I don´t have my front plate, because I like the clean look without the license plate ;)

Get one of those Lightwing brackets and add some lights. There's a thread her for that somewhere.

I had one vehicle that the dealer added one of their ad plates to the front, I removed that and put on a Penguins plate. But the front bumper of my Patriot is clean. I'm considering the lightwing myself, but am waiting to see if I trade my 08 for an 11.
