What us this? Front Grill sensor?

[luke-44]

As a new owner, I'm sure this will be the first of many "what is this" postings for me. Todays topic is inside the front grill. I am looking at various license plate mounts, (my car came without a front plate, but it's mandatory here in NJ). Anyway, I got poking around and I found what looks like a sensor of some sort. Can someone tell me exactly what it is, and the ramifications if I need to remove/move it for a retractable license plate frame? Thanks in advance,

OK thanks, so I guess that means don't mess with it then.

Get the SOS retractable license plate bracket. It can be installed with that sensor and it uses the oem mounting points. Anything else will likely need drilling or as is the case with the stock bracket will scratch your front bumper.
