Why don't you idiots take your plate holder to the store with you and figure it out yourself? You have spent months asking this dude what the parts list is.

Then when you sell the car or take it to a show, you would have holes in your bumper. No?

Wow, some people haven't figured this thing out? Warlord gave a good link for this but brad-tech is right. Tee nuts and molding tape are a given but you just have to go to lowes and home depot to figure it out some of it yourself. Those things are cheap. If I remember correctly, I used less than $20 to do this. Been almost 5 mos and its still holding strong.

Yup mine is still holding strong. I went to Lowes with the license plate in had and sized up some T-nuts. I ended up having to order the T-nuts on amazon. I got the molding tape from autozone. Once the T-nuts came in I just went back to lowes with the parts and license mount in hand and found some washers and bolts that fit. Sorry about the parts list but I didn't keep good notes. Took about an hour total time. Would have taken less if Lowes, OSH, or Home Depot would have had the T-nuts

i checked all over lowes and home depo too, it seems you can only really order tee nuts online they usually don't have them in stock, the hex nuts just gotta visit home depo and drag a worker to get the parts for you. easy as cake

heres the link to the tee nuts for everyone who's having trouble

Wouldn't this be easier to just put the double sided tape directly onto the plate bracket? You could make a circle shape for the areas where those tee nuts would go and then use a strip of double sided tape to go around the edges of the bracket and just stick it on.

I used double sides tape to stick on door moldings on my old Galant that took up half the door and they held strong. I'm sure it would just be easier to directly stick the bracket on with the double sides tape instead of using all of this hardware...

What a hater. This whole time he doesn't post a parts list. Did you think you were gonna get rich of this idea. Obviously since you don't wanna post a parts list.

Not sure if serious, but let me save you the few clicks anyone with an 8th grade reading comprehension would have been able to figure out by now.

Parts used:
4x 3/8" threaded t-nuts with 1" diameter base
4x 3/8" short nylon bolts (you can use metal bolts if you prefer but lighter = better)
3M heavy duty mounting tape
6x 3/8 neoprene washers
Lost of nylon washers (see below, I didn't record the size unfortunately)

optional stuff:
4x M6x12 stainless hex cap bolts (you want stainless unless you like rust)
License plate frame (I'm using a rear mount metal one from pepboys/autozone)
Plastidip
Matte white paint
