Front Plate Mount
Does anyone know the model number for the factory front plate mount? Also, any suggestions in where to purchase? The stealership wants $150.

I would get the tow hook mount so you don't have to drill into the bumper. They are like $30 I think

If no one responds with the part number or you can't find it, I'll try to dig mine out and see if it is on the bag. The dealer included the bracket for me when I bought the car (I didn't want to pay $150), but didn't install it per my request.

I bent my front plat with pliers and made it as small as possible and zip tied it in the front side grill.
I mounted it as far right as I could where there is nothing behind the plate that would block air flow.

Eh, whether it is ugly is a matter of opinion since all front plates are ugly. I use a tow hook mount on mine since I didn't want to drill the bumper. The first time I took the car to the dealer, a bunch of the salespeople and service came out to look at the mount and talk about how they thought it should come from the factory like that and how they should offer that as an option to customers instead of drilling the bumper. This was the conversation without them knowing I owned the car. To the OP, if you do buy a tow hook mount, pay a little more for one that is well built and coated. I'd recommend https://www.rho-plate.com/pages/rho-plate-v2
