Default Mounting Plate for V2 front?

Ok, so I don't have an authentic V2, but how do you mount it normally? I got hit for no front plate for the second time in a couple months last week and I'd prefer to just mount it.

The original V2 bumper comes with a mounting bracket, bolts, and threaded metal inserts imbedded in the fiberglass to mount the plate.

Looks like your going to have to drill yours and use sheet metal screws.

I have the mounting bracket for sale if you want it. You could drill theholes where the inserts should be and bolt the bracket on i guess.

I have a couple of the genuine Nismo brackets here if you need one.

Why not buy the Zee Bracket for the license plate and bolt that to your tow hook attachment?

This was going to be my suggestion as well. You can get it for about $40.

I'm sure the OP was probably trying to avoid a lot of work.
