There is a bracket that comes from behind the bumper
With 4 clips to hold the plate in, mine is taped on same as yours.

Do you mind me asking where you got them from and how much you paid? Quick search on ebay is about £100ish quid.

Also sweet ride, love the colour!

Did the blob rear lights on my old hawk and got rid of that big Subaru badge in the middle(had to have the tailgate painted to get rid of the 2 holes it left behind) but all worth it, looked like a blob from the rear!!

Went from this!


To this
