    I'm in need of a front license plate bracket for a 2012 - 2015 Prius. I got a ticket for not having one in CA. if you have one because your state doesn't require you to put one on, I would love to buy it.

    Thank you

    I have one laying around somewhere. South Carolina does not require a front plate.

    The easier method is to find the dimples in the front bumper cover and drill two 3/16 inch holes and then tap them to M6x1.0.

    Then, drill two matching holes into the license plate and fasten it to the tapped holes with two M6x1.0x20mm screws.

    Add a clear cover, if you wish.

    Info on it here:

    Front bumper & bumper stay for Toyota Prius ZVW30L - Auto parts - Amayama

    Amayama has reorganized their site some, now asks for "frame number". I puzzled over this, then looking in my notes, found I'd noted this:

    Frame: ZVW30L (on same decal as VIN, in driver's door opening)

    There's further qualification needed, but it's relatively easy; they're just asking for manufacture date.

    Part no and description (for 2012-2015):
    Toyota 52114-47130 - BRACKET, FRONT BUMPER EXTENSION MOUNTING

    Attached is a shopping cart I started (amounts in CDN $'s):

    $34.29 plus $13.04 for shipping, comes to $47.33 all-in. Converts to roughly $35 USD all-in

    The “full” frame no is shown on VIN decal (at drivers door opening), without identification. Also there’s a cover saying frame number, on floor pan at passenger seat, but it’s inexplicably different.
