Those holes match the FFR holes that FFR drills through the trunk deck. I ran two bolts from the inside of the trunk and into the bar. No reason you can't do that on your car.

Towards the ends of the bar I drilled and tapped two more 1/4" holes. These match the license plate holes.

The plate had been mounted that way for years, with no evidence of ever coming loose.
Thank you for the help Bob, I will check out another home depot type store to see if I can find some thicker aluminum.
