There's a couple of options. 1) Drill holes. NOT. 2) Strap it to the bumper (see pick below), 3) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...ayphotohosting
And I'm sure there are others. I drilled four holes and used ziped ties to tie it to the center bar in the lower fascia. Worked until I got the chin spoiler...No it's on my dash.

That is where you put the screws in. I put pieces of felt like you put on the bottom of chairs on the license plate to keep from scratching the bumper.

RE: Front License Plate
Mine showed up with the holes drilled in the bumper, even though I told the salesman to not have that done.. original salesman left before car was delivered and I forgot to remind them.... $200 later, I had the holes filled...
I made a bracket using two pieces of aluminum strap, .125 thick X .750 wide. Bent to match bottom profile of bumper and attached to existing hardware. Added support by using velcro (did I say VELCRO??) on each support, located under the bumper, out of sight. Easy to take off.... Mounts the plate low and at an angle. Looks pretty good.
