Dealer greatfully left mine in the trunk though Ohio law requires it, it is dealer installed don't accept that yang "it came that way". 23, there is a procedure to trim and lower the bracket below the grille which was included in the mesh grille instructions though I have not done it since I left mine off. Ohio does not seem to care about the front plate law, I am prepared to say "but officer, there is a recall on the bracket, you know how these Chryslers are, seems plates were flying off on the freeway, mine is in the trunk, the are sending out new bolts next week" - I do have integrety and honesty but this is all part of the game much like using a radar detector.
