I just finally got my Colorado plates, and they run both front and back.
I thought the two molded spots on the front bumper was there to attached the plate, but it does not seem to be quite right, the plate is now angled downward and not really secure.

Is there some plate holder that is needed for a front plate install?

Mine is screwed into the front bumper. There isn't anything on the outside of the bumper to provide rigidness/security. I added one of those cheap plastic covers to help a tad and made sure to utilize all four holes in the plate.

I think it should be mounted something like this:

The plate on my TJ is mounted using the same process.

Lots of new vehicles are just screwed into the bumper.

I used a '06-'07 Ford Escape front bracket, it's the same color works perfect and looks factory.

Picked one up at autozone for about $5.

Now thats how you mount your front plate. Like how you installed your winch, was that a kit or your own mod?

When I picked mine up from dealership I didnt bother putting one of the front..here in CT your supposed to, but I'll take my chances..I leave the front one under my drivers seat

On previous vehicles, what I've done is used one of those dealer license plate frames as a small thin 'chassis' to support the license plate frame. Just put the license plate surround on backwards, and behind the plate, then secure to the bumper. Its low profile and cleaner looking than the piece of tin just hanging there by itself.
