    The license plate bracket on our 2007 Prius is so small that only bolts through the two top corners secure it. I was looking to put a guard over it but it needs to be anchored top and bottom. I saw some that are horse shoe in shape but am not sure it’s dimensions. Parking on the street in the Bronx, the license plate has gotten hit plenty of times. A guard could protect it. Any one know where I could fin a bracket to fit?

    I bought a plastic plate cover at Pep Boys. The front plate and the cover are just held on by the top two corners. I used small nylon nuts and bolts to secure the bottom of the cover to the plate. This has worked well for years on multiple cars.

    Thanks. I purchased another bracket moved it up so the license plate doesn’t get hit.

    Glad to see it works. The big problem in the Bronx, parking on the street gets the bumpers beat up.

    That's good. An added advantage is that the clear cover protects the front plate from excessive bug debris that's hard to get off after a long drive. We travel a lot and it's very easy to just take the cover off, wash it and then put it back on.
