I've never heard of anyone passing on a used vehicle because it had a front plate installed at some point. It's also a Challenger not a Ferrari or Bentley.
It's a quirky thing, some place a big importance on it, others don't.
I learned that on some sports car forums 6MT - Infiniti related etc... I was not disappointed to find mine had no perm mount holes in the front bumper or ever had a plate there I could see when I got it as 3rd owner. Because of that, I left the front plate off. Some states allow that, others that are military towns go by home rule for car registrations and I suppose your home state no front plate needed buys you a pass.
There are plate frame/mount designs to eliminate the minor surgery on bumper skins and some that are 'hideaway'. As kooky as it may sound, aesthetics, personal pref's for car details, features and designs important to the owner isn't a stretch or "News" and typically, related mods or parts very popular.
If it's truly a sports car or a car enthusiast magnet and between two cars available for purchase with one being the clean unmolested front bumper, I'd say at a min 8 or 9 of 10 perspective buyers would choose the clean front but I don't know if they'd pay more for it or as stated, 'kill resale'.
