You can flip the bracket upside down and modify it to mount correctly or just take your plate and mount it to the bracket holes.

It wouldnt let me edit- but thats just using the above link's idea.

I just flipped the bracket upside down and went at'er with the dremel and there we go.

I can take off the bracket and show you exactly how sometime if you would like.

Somehow I do not recommend this mod since the plate will block airflow to the radiator

If you don't wanna dremel, you can use zip ties through the mounting holes in the grille dam (whatever it's called) and the mounting holes in the license plate holder. That's my plan. As far as addressing airflow issues, I'm thinking of maybe drilling some holes in the license plate. So crazy it just might work. . .
