Assuming your talking about the REAR bumper by the tailgate and fender refference, it will bolt up for a 100% fact. They havent changed any styling on the rear of the Ranger in our body style since 93. Unless you count the step bed like mine. I'd say go for it w/o a hessitation!

RP: My Ranger like Tiggies came with a plastic mounting bracket. The holes you used to mount your plate is where our mount attached and extends out till even with the top of the holes in the front bumper. Tabs go up inside/behind the top of those wide holes to keep it still. Here's somewhat of a visual.

Man I can't believe how clean your truck is Benaghetto.
Well I don't have said plastic bracket. I just have the two mounting holes in the bumper.
Might fab something up tommorow.

Wheels are Cragar SS 15X7's. They actually aren't on the truck right now, they are on my car. The Cragars don't like salt so I run my stock wheels in the winter.
Like you said, my stock taillights were Brake/Backup/Turn. When I put in the TYC tails, I had to slightly modify the harness to use the Turn/Brake/Backup setup they came with.
Here is the tag mount:

Looks like an HHR to me...nose seems too long for a PT Cruiser.
Well I might have to get me one of those...it looks better than having the plate just bolted to the bumper, though I do hope it won't cover up my fog lights, if so that plate will be going right back where it came from lol.
Thanks again.
