Where can I find this front license plate bracket?
I hope this isn't old news.....but I ran across this picture on an ebay listing a while back. I've never seen this style of license plate bracket before, but it looks to be an improvement over the OEM bracket on my 93. My current bracket is spot-welded metal strap that holds the plate out from the bumper cover. It's spindly, tends to bend easily, snags clothing and makes it hard to clean behind. I'm assuming it's from a 95-98 model. Anyone know off-hand where to get one or maybe even a part number to have Ray check?

A long shot bump. Still hoping someone might be able to come up with a part number on the bracket. I'd bet I'm not the only one here that needs to keep a front license plate and would be interested in this.
Kai, I'm guessing the second 2nd Gen. Miata would be the closest possibility. No?
Mmmm. maybe I'll order one for a test fit.

Just as an update. I received and installed my oem metal bracket from ray@ malloy. ($70 shipped) It attaches underneath in the opening of the stock 93 bumper using preexisting holes/hardware. I was unaware, otherwise I might have made one myself. I'll post up a picture later if desired. I have to take one for court anyway.

I lived in nova(pwc) and visit quite often, and never got hassled. Only place I didn't get hassled down here was norfolk. Va beach, chesapeake, suffolk cops all pulled me over at least once. I've been pulled 2x this past month. Just not worth the hassle. I'm happy with how this worked out. Doesn't block the opening as much as it seems. No pro photoshoot pics here. I was cold.

I'm glad you found an answer to being cited for not having a front plate. But I'm missing the novelty of posting pictures of the cheezy OEM front license plate bracket that we're already familiar with. We...well, most of us, already knew that that it didn't block the opening.
My thread was aimed at looking for the formed plastic bracket I pictured above.

While it was and still is, the lack of information on it coupled with the fact that people were sourcing miata brackets rather than a factory option confused me. I also found little help when searching here and the exterior forum. I was simply trying to provide info for those unfamilar with the stock bracket like I was for my first 2 years of ownership. Good luck on your search. No more bumps from me.
