removing the front license plate bracket

Anyone know how to remove the front license plate bracket, if so can you reattach it later if needed?

If you don't have a chrome front bumper then it you won't be able to reattach it later. I pulled mine off by pulling the front valence off. I believe there were a total of 8 screws on it. On mine, they used some type of plastic brads that were very difficult to get off. It just depends on whether you have a painted bumper or a chrome bumper on how they actually attach. I can't add mine back on. I'm just glad I live in a state that doesn't require a front tag.

You could do what my wife did with her Expy... Smack the rearend of a Silverado at a red light... That took her license plate bracket off real quick...

I took mine off this weekend. It was fairly easy but not as easy as I had hoped. I took off the valance and was looking for the screws since I have a chrome bumper. I only found the brads. I had to cut them off with my dremel. I think I could remount it if I needed to with some homemade modifications. Georgia doesn't require front plates, it looks much better now.
Thanks for the help
Matt

I took mine off by removing 4 push pins that went through the vanlance and attached to the back off the bumper. It took less than 30 seconds with a panel popper.
