I'm trying to remember off hand what it looks from when I put my plates on.
Best bet might be to go into the For Sale Sections and post "WTB Front license plate holder"

If it's the front you can go to any auto store and get a kit for about $2 that has bolts and clips that will slide right on. The dealer I bought mine from left me with three bolts for the front and back combined....and they weren't even the right size.
The rear would be harder, since the nuts are inside the bumper.
(and they are bolts and not screws since they use nuts...pet peeve)

I am not sure. When i removed my rear plate i had to drill out the screws since they would not come out. And once i removed the plate the part the screws went into were gone. I have no idea where they went. Was just left with 2 little square holes. So i went to the store and bought the kit to mount my plate.
