Default 2006 front license plate bracket

I heard of a bracket offered that is a snap on type of fastening. Sorry for the grammer, What I mean is that there is no screws to install. Has anyone seen/use this type? I want too fill in the holes that were drilled in my car ( by someone else), and paint match ....not a big deal, I would imagine. But It's an eyesore plain an simple. I was also thinking of trimming the plate and inserting it in the grill on one side. Im gonna get eln.nor for the plate.btw.

That's the best plate bracket in my opinion. I'll be buying it if I ever go with a GT/CS front end. Previous owner/dealership screwed mine on so hard that the plastic is twisted up the thread, looks like crap

I've already been planning on painting my bolts with a few good coats so I can just screw them back in when I take the plate off for any shows or photos. I really like the idea.

So This will look better, It's just temporary. I alreadyhad holes in the center, so whats a few more............if need be? This is a euro look. At first, it looked like shlt! Then as I stared at it, It actually was functional,no air restrictions,. That being said, It serving a purpose, Now it looks almost acceptable. I just gotta be different I guess. I'm almost afraid too ask, but ,what do you guys think? Shlt, or passable, I don't expect any one too ''like'' it.

If you got the holes there in the bumper, then might as well use them.
When you get something better, well, then...
