Welcome. Georgia must require the front plate also? Ohio does BUT you don't see them on any of our Vibes . Your Vibe looks too clean to ruin it by mounting the front plate. Keep it near the front seat (legally it should be on the dashboard) and show it to officials if/when you ever get pulled over. Now that I've expressed my opinion, I can't help you with locating the base/bracket for the front plate. Good luck

...a junkyard with a rear-ended crashed Vibe usually works....also, rarely, someone here has one either on their "wrecked" Vibe; or, even rarer, one left over from never being installed in the first place.

I can tell you now the dealer will probably want a WAY to much. (experience)

I'm looking to put it on the front. But I'm not wanting to put my license plate there, just a random tag I choose to put there. My license plate is in the back.

Mrs. Slocum, did you ever get a tag for the front of your Vibe? I just got my 2009 Vibe this week, and I am eager to get the dealer advertisment off the front of my car! I may want to put a decorative, informative, or funny plate up there, I just don't know yet. That is why I am interested in what you ended up with.

I found a license plate holder for the front of my 2004 Vibe at a junkyard. The curve of the Vibe front made me look carefully for a similar curve so the license plate holder would mount flush and not rattle.
