Default Putting license plate bracket on amuse front bumper

How are you Amuse front bumper owners putting on the license plate? Do we only have the option of drilling into the front bumper? I've got a Z-bracket too if it's possible to even put it on there. Thanks in advance

You should get that hidden license plate thingy. Where you push a button and it comes out.

Do not drill!!!! Use the Stillen one that screws into the tow hook slot or some 3M tape or something. Never drill your front bumper.

Depends on the year... If you have something other than the 2007-2008, I would definitely go with the Stillen kit. I haven't been able to get anyone to say whether one of the kits for the 2006 will fit the 07-08s for sure so I can't say for certain about those. If I knew it fit for sure, I'd already have one.

That wasn't why I was asking the year. The tow hook's size changed between years and Stillen claims that the 2006 style won't work on the 07-08 cars. Doesn't have anything to do with the bumper.

Just wanted to post up in case someone is searching for the answer to this and gets this thread.

I bought the 2006 Stillen kit for my 2008. The post is the correct size and all that fun stuff, so I'm pretty sure it will work fine with a stock bumper. However, it will NOT work with the Amuse front bumper unless you build a spacer to extend the post 7/8".

^^^ Thanks for your contribution!

Anyone with 2007+ Z and a Amuse front bumper? I have a front license plate ticket due in a less than a month and I'm panicking...
