You can use the stock black mount, by relocating the holes in it. Just drill the new holes about 5/8" or 3/4" from the top edge exactly in line with the existing holes. Moving the holes up will move the bracket down when screwed into the black grill facia (where the small dimples are). I had to get longer screws, large, #14 round head sheet metal. I flattened the head about half on a grinder. Then screw the mount, using new holes, into the facia without using the inserts that came with the stock mount. Then install the plate. This puts the whole mount and license below the bumper (painted portion). It does bend the license out a wee bit, but with my 370Z stainless steel frame , it does not show.
Best wishes,
