I believe the dealer installed the front plate mount and some dealers may have used screws instead of the rivets they came with. I think all 85-93 Mustangs came with a plastic front plate mount.

I worked at a Ford dealer from 82 til 96 and yes the dealer installed the front plate holder. The big plastic rivets required a huge rivet gun with a special tip for plastic rivets and alot of dealers didn't spend the money for one and used any means available to attach the plate holder. Doug
