I would most likely eliminate the bottom 2 bolt holes anyways because it's not really helping the license too much structurally. It should reduce the part size dramatically.
My thought was to replace the Plastic OEM center mount... The rough drawing I whipped up would be virtually invisible if painted black.. I left it as large as I did for support of the bottom of the plate once installed - so wind wouldn't bend it back into the grill and chip paint or whatever... Its just a thought. I feel the OEM mount is cheap at best, considering they put it on a nearly 40k car. Like they say - the devil is in the details... even a diamond bracelet would lose its luster if you wrapped it with a bow that had been dragged thru dog shiz....
