Hideaway License plate mounting

Can someone PLEASE post a picture of how they mounted their hide-away plate? Ive been trying to find a way to mount it but there's nothing underneath thats close enough. I dont think screwing it into the lower lip is going to be secure? Any suggestions or pics! thanks in advance

I drilled two holes on the lower lip and I never had problems.

It stayed on even after the tow chain basically destroyed it. lol

oh ok. Or maybe I'll use some bigger ones that go through the lip, up through the bottom of the bumper, then put a nut on the other end of it so even if I do clip the lip somewhere, it wont rip off lol.

Whatever you do: Don't follow their directions.

I just screwed in the two screws into the fascia and it's pretty secure.

Passenger side. Only use 2 screws to hold it up. Easy as pie.

on youtube.com, look up swiftmotorsport hideaway license plate. you'll see a yellow SS. Thats me, watch the video, and see where I mounted it.

-two screws into the front lip. the long piece of plyable metal they give you I bent into a L shape and screwed it into that black plastic firewall flap behind the intercooler/ radiator.

excuse me my car is an evo in disguise? someone told me my car sounded like an evo with the ss downpipe on, lol. I mounted mine on the driver side. I dont wanna block the intercooler that much. but I didnt put it over far enough to block the foglight either. thats a big fail to watch out for. lol.
