Question about mounting front license plate

Yes you do or it will scratch up the bumper. You can buy the license plate screws at walmart.

 

You need the bracket part to fit on the bumper. Then your plate goes on the bracket, which is made in Japan and fits correctly. The bracket comes with the right screws to self tap into the bumper. There are dimples in the bumper matching the bracket holes. Place the screw point in the dimples and carefully thread in. No predrilling, and not too tight, according to Toyota. The screws are designed to self tap into the plastic bumper.
Then it should be 6mm thread machine screws to hold your frame and plate on bracket.

Here are the instructions on page 6. I remember I didn’t drill any 11 mm holes for the license plate screws to go through. I used 6 mm screws that went into the captured nuts and no farther in to touch the bumper.
