*Help* License plate plastic torn off.

Yeah, it sucks, i bought my car used, it was only about 13,000 with 4,000 miles on it. It's an '07 coupe manual black, not that that makes any difference. When I got it the license plate had been ripped off and the plastic along with it. So the morons that had if before had just drilled 2 holes in it with screws and it looks like crap, and the license plate has almost fallen off atleast 3 times now. I am afraid if I ever want to get it back to normal I am going to have to buy a whole new bumper. I will post up pictures later, but if anyone has any miracle or remedies they would like to suggest to me please feel free. THanks!

That one side looks pretty bad but before you buy a new bumper try several
coats of epoxy and put another piece of plastic (drilled) behind it for
structural strength glued with epoxy also. Clamp and let it sit at least over
night. Don't forget to notify Motor Vehicles and the Police of your missing/stolen license plate....hope this works for you!

oh no LOL no one stole it, I bought it used so I assume that the person who sold it had it ripped off or something but does anyone have any pics of the original so I can get an idea

I would still do the epoxy/plastic fix I posted above. But go to a Infiniti
stealership/parts dept and have them show you what goes in those holes.
They're like nut clamps that fit over those holes that the license plate bolts
screw into. You still need to strengthen the one on the left or it won't hold!
