I purchase my 2023 Suburban in Pennsylvania but live in NY where a front plate is required. I see the bracket is available through GM but wonder if anyone has used anything better or different. It appears that holes will have to be drilled. Also wondering if anyone has used two-sided tape or adhesive instead of drilling?

Thanks,

Padraig

Same thing with our Tahoe (no bracket). Good thing is Wyoming doesn't require a front plate if there isn't a bracket.

Unfortunately NY does so I will have to do something when the Pennsylvania temp runs out.

Unfortunately the dealer installed mine, GM ships them if the state the dealer is in requires a front plate. They are drilled, then riveted to keep them in place. The plate bracket is contoured to the bumper. I look at Tesla's and very rarely see one with a front plate or bracket for one, not sure it matters anymore.

It gives traffic/toll cams a better shot at grabbing your tag number.

I asked the dealer not to install ours. We live in Missouri where they are required per law but you see a lot of vehicles without them and I did not have one on my previous vehicles for 10 years, think it looks much cleaner without.

I’ll sell mine if anyone needs it

I know this is older but I have a 24 suburban RST and looking at the same issue. Found this. Expensive but may be a better option.
