The Platypus License Plate Mount
Scratch and Dent?
Occasionally, we get new parts or returns that have cosmetic blemishes that do not affect the functionality of the part. Rather than toss them in the scrap bin, we offer the parts for sale at a deeply discounted price. In many cases, the location of the blemish prevents it from even being seen once the part is installed. Like all of our products, we still guarantee it to be the correct fit and to work properly and will offer to exchange components should anything need adjustment, or simply set up a free return if you decide that you are not happy with the product. Our normal return policy applies to all scratch and dent products.
Huh? Why’s it called a Platypus?
A couple of reasons! Years back, when searching for a fun name for our license plate holders, we realized that a tab on our plate brackets resembled the bill of our office’s favorite semi-aquatic mammal, the Platypus! Doesn’t your work have one? They’re also kind of spelled similarly. Plate…platypus. Get it? We think it makes things more fun.
Simple, Reliable, Compliant.
All conceived, designed and constructed all right here in the USA at our Portland, OR headquarters. We utilize 12 gauge steel, powder coated to protect against the elements and to ensure a long life. No flimsy plastic bits here! In search of a compliant front license plate holder or need to correct a “fix-it” ticket? Our Platypus License Plate Mounts can be easily removed, so only put it on when you need it!
We’ve thought of everything.
With a full sized plate backing to protect your license plate from getting bent and no flimsy adjustment points, the Platypus is sturdy and up to the challenge. Going through an automated non-touchless car wash? No problem. Use the included quick release wrench to pop your plate off to avoid any interference.
Universal Mounts Fit Many Vehicles...
... but they typically don't fit anything perfectly.That’s why the majority of our Platypus mounts are tailored to fit YOUR vehicle specifically. Premium included hardware keeps everything fit snugly together. Don't waste your time and money with a cheaply made universal design, experience the difference that a Platypus License Plate Mount provides!
We’re seasoned enough to know your vehicle.
With well over a decade of experience fitting hundreds of makes and models, we want to ensure that any car you may own will have a bespoke solution. Whether you have an Integra or a Bentayga, a Miata or a Mustang, or a Camaro or a K5, we know we can help you find what you need. Need a crazy custom unique solution or have some sort of issue? We can help you with that too!

United StatesPlatypus for 2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus
The correct custom hex bolt for the 2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus is part number HEX-Z24R165. That one fits correctly into the front tow hook receiver. I'm happy with the fit and very pleased that I can have a front plate without drilling or otherwise modifying the front bumper to hold a license plate (Washington state requires a front plate). I recommend this custom solution to anyone looking for front plate mounting hardware.

United StatesPlatypus on a Tesla Y
We put a Platypus on my wife’s Tesla Y. Installation was easy. The construction of the kit is very solid and it looks great on the car. We highly recommend this for people that don’t want to drill holes or warp the front bumper vent.
