When I place my order for a new Mustang GT, one of the stipulations I will have in my contract is that the dealer MUST NOT INSTALL A FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET ON THE CAR! In my opinion, nothing "mucks up" the appearance of the front end of a nice vehicle more than a clunky, plastic bracket that has been haphazardly drilled into the face of your bumper!
