Front license plate scraping

Anyone else notice that since the front plates are only held on by 2 screws the bottom sorta shifts inward at high speeds? No, I don't expect you to be on the hood of your car doing 90 down the highway, but mine's left scrape marks on my front bumper. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else of if you've even checked.

Hell, I just noticed today when I was cleaning behind my plates. Big downside of black cars: Scrapes and swirls show as clear as day.

Eh...was also wondering if anyone could think of a quick fix. I'm too tired and braindead to think.

i got the same problem...to solve it i jus drilled holes in the middle of the plate to center it...this way it doesn't bend..looks a little weird...but better then messing up the paint.
