Dear DML, I too have a factory original license plate holder, I think. Are they supposted to be black? I found it underneath the passenger seat one day about a month ago. Had no idea what it was until another DML'er recognized what it was. The reason I believe it to be factory original is that the car has always been in NC and in this state we do not require front plates.
