Front Euro plate holder on '09 Base?

Hello FitFreak!

I registered just today to ask the Fit world for a little assistance. I have an '09 Base Fit and I would love to place a Euro plate on the front. It is not required in my state to have a front plate, however, my Fit did come equiped with a front plate holder --US-style-- that is secured using two bolts underneath the bumper (no visible holes). Is there an OEM or alternative equivalent designed for a Euro plate? I can't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to being a part of this community.

Thank you!

Sounds like what you want is a JDM License Plate Relocator. It is on my list of things to buy.

I am so glad my state doesn't require a front plate. The Fit looks so much better without one.
Why muck up the front of the car with a plate if you don't have to?

I'd like a europlate holder for the front too. I'm from germany and got my old plate i'd like to put on there. Maybe we have to get it from the euro jazz? I looked around before but didn't find one.

I had mine custom made for JDM to USDM, but it cost a lot. You can find brackets on ebay, if anything, you just need to drill holes in an aftermarket bracket.

Edit:
After seeing a LONG Euro plate and realizing there are no holes. It brought me to this holder ranging from $20-$40. I see some on ebay for cheaper.

Over40Pirate- I've grown somewhat tired of the Base front end. I just wanted to add a little character.

Fit4biz- If you find anything let me know. I'll do the same.

BlueCell- Thank you for the links. I have seen the simple brackets sold in your link. I was hoping there was a Euro License plate bracket, possibly made specifically for the Fit, that utilized the "under the bumper" system my current US plate bracket uses. Just like the one in this post: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gene...ate-issue.html

Thanks everyone for your responses.

i just realized that some euro models actually have the bumper recessed slightly where the plate goes, instead of having it bottom mounted like here in the US.
