License plate frame front of Cobalt

I just got my Cobalt LT last week, and when I wen to take off the dealer plate that they always put on the new cars, I found out that they velcroed it on!!! So now I need to get a license plate frame mounted, anyone have any clue as to what the cost would be? thanks!

BTW so excited finally have the Cobalt-love it!

i'd just not put a plate on the front at all... looks better w/o it and yea, you're luck.... some people have huge ass holes in their bumper. i was fortunate enough to have mine untouched since i got it off a warehouse lot

yeah they just slapped some velcro on the bumper and some on the back of the dealership plate...unbelieveable! I mean, how dang cheap is that? Thank God it peeled off and didn't leave any marks. I do want to put a plate on the front though...so they just drill holes in the bumper? Hell no, they better give me a mounting bracket....also, what's up with the back license plate only having 2 holes? Most cars have 4 holes....I know it's been a long time since I've had a new car but come on!

yea my front bumper has 3 little dimples where you're supposed to screw in a mounting bracket, but imo looks way better w/o anything. velcro isnt a bad idea imo. doesnt **** up the paint or your bumper so u can always remove it. but not sure how secure it would be with metal plates on it lol

Why in the world do you need to have 4 bolts to bolt on your license plate? 2 is more than sufficient...
