Where do I get the hardware and how do you mount the front license plate on a 2002 F150? I just moved to Ohio from Indiana and will need to now have a front plate.

 

Go to a wrecking yard and get the front plate bracket. Wait till you get a ticket before putting it on. Stop at a parking lot close to where you'll get it checked off and use some double sided tape to hold it in place. After you get the ticket wrote off, take the plate off.

 

Just about any Ford dealer would have one. Im sure they would not charge you much. Its not worth the hassle with the police as opposed to what the above guy said.

 

I'm taking mine off my 2002.

 

i just put two self tapping screws in my lower valence

 

Throw the plate in the dash so you can see it in the windshield and call it a day!

 

I ended up buying a new plate holder from the Ford dealer for $18 dollars - thanks to all for the advice.

 

I think your $18 bucks was well spent. You couldn't have resolved your problem for much less.
