Man, that sucks... You can just use 3M Tape. That will hold.

You could get some long zip ties and zip tie to the mesh grill and put electrical tape on the edges to make sure it doesn't mess up your paint.

Mine is magnetic. It's been on for over a year, been through downpours and blizzards...never fallen off. Best part is, you can just lift it off whenever you want.

Or you could just get the factory front tag mount that doesn't put a hole in your bumper cover. I took mine off a long time ago and threw it away or I would send it to you. If you look in the driver side air guide on the front bumper you will see one of the mount points tucked up neatly out of the way. the other is in the center FMIC air guide on the drivers side obviously. This is probably the best solution because they are all over on here just ask plus it keeps it out of the way of the airflow over the FMIC.

No Corvettes come with a factory license plate mount in the front but you have to take the plate off of it. If you look closely on the front of a corvette there is a box that comes off and that is where you mount the license plate.

What magnets did you use? Did you just glue them to the license plate? Did you put anything between the license plate and the bumper so it wouldn't get scratched?

Are you talking about the plate mount that comes with all USDM Evos, or something else? AFAIK, it puts a hole in the front clip, but I'd love to hear about another option. Thanks!
