>why is that bending license plates? The plastic bracket doesn't usually support the bottom half and the result is a license plate that's formed to perfectly follow the contour of the bumper (for stuff that still uses a steel bumper) or just bent into the empty space of the lower grill opening (on many cars)[1]. Then there's all the work vans that just have the license plate affixed wherever on the front bumper the owner felt like drilling two holes.
