Default Missing Pieces From OEM Front License Plate Bracket

Question: What other parts do I need to buy to mount my OEM front license plate bracket properly? (This is NOT my car just an example picture.)


First of all I wanted the OEM front license plate bracket, not interested in Rick's license plate, toe-hook license plate, or JDM license plate.
My car came from Florida and I do have the painted OEM bumper plugs however where I live in Canada I need the front plate, so...


I just purchased Part # 71145-S2A-A00 Illustration # 14 Description BASE, FR. LICENSE PLATE

I thought it would come complete with everything needed to mount my car but unfortunately not. Here is some pictures of how it came and I circled missing pieces I will need to buy.

However they front plate is not secured at the bottom of the OEM license plate as you can see in the following pictures.

I think I need to buy Part # 71107-S2A-A00 Illustration # 8 Description BRACKET, FR. LICENSE GARNISH

Does anyone know what else I need?

You can get the tow hook front license plate without drilling holes into your bumper. I have it.

Hello thank you for commenting however like I stated above I do not want the tow hook front license plate bracket.

Sorry it may have been hard to see so I have edited my original post to excentuate that fact.

Also my OEM front bumper had four pre drilled holes in the bumper with painted bumper plugs. So no need to drill any holes.

I bought this recently from hardtopguy.com who sells all the necessary accessories.



The black plug on the right part # 91503-SZ3-003 CLIP A, BUMPER.
The seven silver clips are part # 90675-SA5-003 NUT, CLIP (6MM).
And you should be able to read the other part numbers from the photo. Note that the white bag says QTY 10 but it actually only has seven (7) bolts and websites sell them as a set of seven (7).

I haven't actually installed mine (just opened it now) but looking at it, it seems there are two silver clips that aren't necessary.

to mount my plate, i just use some 1/4 inch rubber grommets to isolate the plate from the bumper, and 2 inch long 10mm bolts. mounted into the bumper it is secure at highway speeds and does not flap around or move.

anyway, just a thought. Cost was, oh, maybe $2.

s-nisen - amazing thank you for posting!
So by looking at what is there here is what I came up with.


Part # 90675-SA5-003 Illustration #36 Description:NUT, CLIP (6MM) *sold as a pack of seven* ---------------->obviously these
Part # 93401-06016-05 Illustration #32 Description:BOLT-WASHER (6X16) *sold as a pack of seven* ------->two go together
Part # 91503-SZ3-003 Illustration #37 Description:CLIP A, BUMPER *what is this for exactly?*
Part # 71107-S2A-A00 Illustration #8 Description:BRACKET, FR. LICENSE GARNISH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore would I need to buy the four items listed above only, or is there sometime else I am missing?

I'm pretty sure we have our front license plate mounted the exact same way lol. However I am worried about it not being secured at the bottom of the license plate. If you pull the license plate up or side ways I would imagine it would do damage to the front bumper which is what I am trying to avoid.

Did you not secure the bottom of your plate?

No problem. You had an odd question that I just happened to have an answer to, with photos
That list covers everything. The Bumper Clip A secures #8 to #14 which bolts into the spot below with a #32 and #36 Name:  2013-06-12163205.jpg

Nope. not a problem at all. I thought it would have been an issue, but it isn't.

you can see in the video below that at speed, the plate doesn't move. just click on the picture below for the video.


I also put another flat screw with the same thread pitch into the other plate hole to secure the mount behind the bumper even better. But no bottom security needed.

ps sorry for the thread jack.
