I will take a pic when I get home later today, don't have the means to download my cell phone camera pics at the moment (yes I am too cheap to pay for internet on my phone LOL).
As for the screws, I chose a #6 or a #8 don't remember. So I drilled through the plate to match the 2 indents on the black plastic and relied on the thread on the black plastic to hold it. So far so good. I drove it a few times already and after the drive, I checked to make sure the screws did not rotate or loosen and it didn't. What's really neat about this idea is that there's no need for the big bracket, and nothing is touching my paint. And when I remove it, the holes are BARELY visible. I also plan to cover with either black silicone or electrical tape, or both. Definitely not visible then.
I will take pics and post later.
It still sucks in general to have front plates, but........... what can I do... our cars stick out like sore thumbs to these cops. They see sports car, and they automatically single you out. Annoying.... but what can I do.
