Default front license plate help

i am putting a novelty front license plate on my car and i searched the forum but couldnt really get the answer im looking for.

are there screw holes on our car? i would check but mine is striped and i didnt realy see any indent where the holes would be. anyone got any pics of their plates?

also some guy used 3M bonding tape and said it worked awesome what do you guys think about that?

My GT came with 2 holes drilled right into the bumper with screws in them.

Here's a pic with just the screws and then the license plate.

I used a license plate relocation kit I got from Moss Mustang. Didn't want to drill into the front
bumper.

I didn't do mine (it was already done) as I said, but there's only screws. They don't even screw all the way in and are tight as hell so there's no need for the nut, at least on mine.
