License plate rubber grommet kit

I bought my GTS in June, and got a KU tag for Christmas (rock chalk!), The car came with these little rubber grommet/anchors that the screw went into to mount a tag with. well...i lost them. Obviously can't use a normal moutning kit since theres that big splash guard. Has anyone found them online? I've checked with all the parts stores and my dealer and no one can get them in. Help for my petty problem anyone???

Well, I got impatient and went out and started pulling things off. After finding out that taking the splash guard off you cant get up that high, i took of the plastic that is around the hood latch, and is attached to the induction (i think). That way i could use a normal mounting kit. Hope this helps anyone else wondering how they can get a plate on. Still wish i could convince my fiancée' to do a side plate mount oh well. Happy driving!

Just use some double-sided Velcro strips and you can mount it wherever you want, the side, the front, wherever. And if you don't need it on (for a show or something) temporarily, you can just rip if off. It's worked wonders for me, and I haven't had to drill any ugly holes in the bumper.

This may not be a good picture, but you can see how the plate is mounted and that no holes are drilled in the bumper.

I have three pieces of double-sided velcro "tape" on it, two on top on the right and left, and one at the bottom-center of the back of the plate.
