Front License Plate Mounts -- any aftermarket fix?

[NASSTY]

My Ford Sport Trac and 2014 Mustang had indents but no holes in the bumper cover. I'd expect the same on the 2024 Ranger.

My 2017 and 2020 F150 Raptors had holes in the front bumper for the bracket. I plugged the holes.

I may have found a simple fix for the front plate on non-Raptor Rangers. I had unused 5" x 3" shelf brackets in my shop and mounted them below the radar sensor. There are two screws that are mounted to the steel bumper. The bracket is very close to the bumper when installed but is not touching. I also had a flat steel adapter plate that can be found in most auto parts stores. I had to drill holes in the plate to match the width of the mounted shelf brackets.

I also test drove the truck looking for problems with any of the systems. Everything worked as designed from what I could tell.

Anyone know of any aftermarket front license plate brackets that mount to Ranger Raptor tow hooks and don't mess up the sensors? I was thinking a mount with a little offset to passenger left might work. Sensor is just 3 inches or so to right of Ranger passenger side tow hook.
Something similar to this.

Looking for the same thing, have you tried this mount? Looks like it may work.

No, I gave up on the license relocate. I'm ok with where it is at now, but thanks.

Agree, great fix.. I did the exact same thing.
