I want to put on a chrome license plate holder but i only have 2 screw holes, i can drill new holes but what about making them water proof? should i just use silicone or something?

Re: Adding license plate screw holes?
If you are drilling into a normal bumper skin that is on a car now, I would just go right in with your new screws, shouldn't be a problem and will be a nice tight fit. I can assure you that is all the dealers do when they put plates on the front.2017 Lexus RX 350 - Satin Cashmere Metallic

Re: Adding license plate screw holes?
Gotcha, well, I am not sure I would want to drill into the factory part of the car either. I know what you are saying, the back of my wife's Venza only has the two screw holes at the top, but I would not be willing to introduce new holes myself just to put on a plate bracket. You will have all kinds to issues down the road, including rust.Originally posted by MicrofiberMan View Post

Why do you need two more screws? I'd just stick some foam on the back of the two bottom holes so it doesn't run on the paint, but that's about it. The plate isn't going anywhere.

Re: Adding license plate screw holes?
well I had 1 on before with just the 2 holes and it broke from the vibration of it being so loose.Originally posted by roushstage2 View PostComment
