Now that I'm living in NY, I need to put a front plate on the car. Do I
need to get the hardware from a dealer or is it something I can pick up at
the local parts store?
 
I'd get it from the dealer parts. Aftermarket parts for these brackets
rarely fit correctly. with my last car, when the bracket started to rust
(Chrysler product) and I looked for an aftermarket one, nothing would fit.
Finally wound up welding one together that held up well.
You can also check junkyards and recyclers. Someone else posted about a used
parts source deditated to saturns http://www.6thplanetusedparts.com/ (fwiw)

I have one on my 2000 sl1. How do I take it off. I live in PA no front
plate needed.
 
On my 97 I removed the plate and saw a couple of plastic rivets holding the
bracket to the bumper. I used a small drill to destroy the rivets and the
bracket came off - sure looked nice until the Cop pulled me over and asked
where my plate was... (sigh) We have the traffic cameras here so I'm
guessing that's why they're so big on a front plate.

You can get one at any GM dealership, because we all use the same part.

If you happen to be in Westchester County, call Saturn of White Plains
and tell them Mark sent you :)
