2015+ Front Plate

Have a 2019 with no front plate holder. It's required. debating between Tow hook and OEM ( Only because I don't wish to drill the bumper) Illustration below uses two existing holes with a self tapping screws. Would using just the two screws into the lower grill be sufficient? Is there a way to prevent the 3rd screw location from rubbing?

I'm using CravenSpeed license plate mount (they make kits for ton of different make & model), but it's kind of expensive.
I see one for Honda Fit GK for $100 at Amazon.

You could probably use 3M Molding Tape (strong double-sided rubbery tape) and avoid the top screw, but I can't be sure since I'm using a tow hook mount.

Nice option, price is a bit steep though.

I just removed mine all together. Cops have much better thing to do in my city than pull people over for minimal infractions.

The 4 screws are holding the plate to the bracket. 2 screws are holding the bracket to the car.
