Here is another solution for those needing a front plate mount and not wanting to drill holes in their truck. This is a grille clamp on design that I have been running for over a month without issues. If you have access to a 3D printer and are looking for something a little more symmetrical (and not blocking the sensors), then this may be a solution. So far I am not seeing any issues with airflow/temperature rise but I have not run in temperatures over 90deg F very much.

I included original STP format files along with the STL files out there if some of the creative folks on the forum want to improve on the design.

My dealer inadvertently tested my front plate bracket this week when trying to work on the low voltage battery sensor recall. The license plate did not fare well but the bracket hung in there. Somehow they also broke off the windshield washer tank cap, and lost a panel clip, so overall not a good day for them and a less than stellar experience for me . At least I have full confidence in my license plate bracket.
