I just posted an intro and as I said I just got my car and I'm having a little problem. Since I live in NJ I need 2 license plates. I bought frames that have 2 holes on top and were told they should fit since 05 owners have bought them too.
I have 2 holes in the front bumper which don't go all the way through but there's a dealer plate on the back with 4 holes. I'm not sure how to go about installing the plates and frames. Do I need different frames or a bracket?

The back will accept either two or four holes. If you already have four holes from the dealer, you probably ought to get a frame for four. My dealer only used the top two holes but the "dimples" are there for the bottom two.

pony_grl,

I used the top two holes (only) to mount the front plate and two diagonal holes to mount the rear (top-left, bottom-right). My car only came with 2 screws from the dealer, so this is all I used. I haven't had any problems yet after 4000 miles of driving and parking.
