Evo ix Front License plate Garnish Kit
Mine came with the exact hardware you describe. If you look underneath the front bumper (area where the intercooler is located) there should be a hole pre-drilled to attach the front garnish to.
you have to order the hardware separately. I just ordered the plate bracket by itself from mitsubishiparts.com and it came without the hardware. They also have the part #s on the site.
I got ticket for no front plate too.... well I went to church and the Evo was parked right infront of my church and an idiot cop got any better to do than written me a ticket for no front plate.
Instead of putting my stock bracket and mounting hardware on I decide to custom made one. My Evo was never drilled,.. the moment I pick her up from the dealer she was a virgin ...lol so yeah finally after 3 yrs of ownership I got ticket for no front plate.
Anyway I found some alluminum sheet laying around so I decide to make a custom plate bracket.... I mount it on the almost same spot as OEM location but I did not drill from the front instead I drilled two holes from the under side which you cannot see from certain angle unless you look underneath it.
I'll post some pic and maybe make a how to thread later.
btw I went to the hearing officer and I did not got to pay anything since I got it mounted.... I guessing it must be some sort of fixer ticket.

Here's my how to's:
If you hate drilling the 2-4 big holes on your front bumper what I recommend you to do is drill from the under side of the from bumper instead of the front side like oem.
here what I did....
Tool needed: Screw driver, License plate mount hardware, L-shape license holder bracket, drill, knife. oh yeah you can paint the plastic insert to match your car.
Your hardware and L-shape bracket should look something like these.
Step 1: Test fit before start. Mark all point before cutting..make sure you dont hit the crash beam. Now cut two square hole into the front bumper like this. Note: You need to measure and make sure how big your plastic screw insert before cutting.
Step 2: Now after you cut the two square hole.. insert the plastic screw inserts. It should make a poping noise comfirms that it pops right in. It looks like this:
With the screw on it looks like this:
Step 3: Finally attach your lincense plate bracket and screw the plate in. It should look something like this:
Front the top:
from the front view:
****You're all done... now get some
to celebrate your easy 1, 2, 3 easy plate mount.

lol wish I could mass produce... for $10-15 shipped?
Thanks for the compliment.. I should mass produce it too heh.
j/k
i personally was not a big fan of drilling into my bumper( got a ticket just like you) i just used black zip times to zip tie it down to the screen (exactly where it is in the picture above^) and acutally doesnt look half bad and it worked in court soo if you dont wanna drill you could do that or fabricate something??
