Yup, thats what I was going to suggest, I was hunting down a link for that from the my.is is300 forum:
http://my.is/forums/f90/tutorial-no-...unting-244161/

If I do that I'm going to bolt the bracket on but to bolt it on properly I need to take the bumper off. You should be able to zip tie it, I didn't want to do that since I thought that might be less secure.

I'm waiting for my first fix it ticket or if I have the bumper off for some other reason to do this.

If you're going to have it drilled and you're unsure how to do that then definitely tell the dealer to do it. They will drill the bumper and mount it free of charge.

plates are too big to fit in the grill... unless you chop off the top and bottom.
