I tried the search but got nothing but junk. What is the part number for the front license plate bracket? I want to replace mine. They often lose that black color due to the sun or chemicals from the car wash.

Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.
MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

I stand corrected. . . see the image below.

$42 is this a marauder specific bracket? I would like to find a used one possibly.

I was told by the stealership that it is a Marauder specific part. When I got mine from them. As I tried to swap my P71 license plate holder/bracket which was still in tip top shape with the damaged one when I got my Rauder before I sold my P71. It was a no go.
(Note: Mounting holes and the way to mount totally different unless gerry rig it some way.)
Did you try using some back to black by Mothers first?

As RoyLPita posted, 3W3Z17A385AAA is definitely the correct part number as I just placed an order for one, but like 88LTDCV351, I want to replace my front license plate bracket; my questions are how to remove and replace the bracketI've read that it's best to use the Ford recommended rivets (P/N HM1 Pack Quantity: 10 ).
1. Do I remove the original Ford rivets by drilling the four of them out like pop-rivets?
2. Do I need a specific tool to re-install the bracket w/ Ford rivets, or will a pop-rivet gun work?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I believe they are plastic push rivets. Usually don't need any tools.As RoyLPita posted, 3W3Z17A385AAA is definitely the correct part number as I just placed an order for one, but like 88LTDCV351, I want to replace my front license plate bracket; my questions are how to remove and replace the bracket
