Thanks for the info, however, when you drill through the plastic covering is there some metal on the other side of the plastic that this mounts to? Or just the plastic? Just curious 'cause I think that the plastic would not really be secure enough.

The section of the bumper cover, where the StoNSho is mounted, is just plastic. There's no metal behind it. It should be okay unless you have a heavy license plate frame. Although, if you bump the plate, the screws will get loose in the plastic.
I don't have a StoNSho. I have the Skene Design plate mount, which also mounts to the lower section of the bumper cover. Not often but a few times, my wife has rolled a little too far into our garage and has tapped the foam rubber cushion on the garage wall (I anticipated that this might happen). After three hits, I had to re-attach the plate mount with bigger screws and glue. Then it happened again... Now, I've got a thicker more elaborate foam rubber thing that gets the bumper on each side of the plate.

I would be inclined to remove the plastic lower bumper piece and mount the plate bracket with an additional backing plate on the other side of the plastic (essentially sandwich the plastic with the additional plate, rather than using screws into plastic alone).

Good idea.. I will look at that possibility when I get my plates and get to install it..
I think I will look at the possibility, too, to use an invisible placed outdoor black zip tie (at the plate support place level with some rubber bumpers) to reduce the torque stress and vibration on the supporting plate assembly. Even if the support mounting plate detaches, the plate assembly will be held by the black zip tie.
I plan to glue the mounting plate, and inject some Loctite Red Threadlocker compound on the screws holes and on the screws. That stuff needs to be heated in order to be removed, so it should help hold the screws from behind the plastic bumper piece too, once installed and cured.
I received my Euro plate bracket and installed it on my front bumper. I am happy with the bracket, I used two screws to screw into the bumper and it holds fine.
Finally after seven months, I was able to install my Euro plate.

^did you melt the plastic or add some kind of adhesive? I installed mine last week but have not tested it yet (only plan to put the plate on for road trips), so I don’t know how it will hold up at high speed but I do know that your mount has a bunch of debris/residue surrounding it that mine does not.

I put some Super Glue to the plate and to the screws, because the supporting plastic felt thin.
I added too some exterior molding double side tape to the plate touching the bumper to make sure it is better supported and so that there is no torque pulling down on the bracket..
I think it will hold pretty good. I will let you all know if I bump, or noticed, into any issues.. i.e. car wash, etc..
