Default Rear License Plate Bracket

Hello all,
Does anyone know where or how to attach the rear license plate on a Contemporary Cobra? On mine there isn't enough vertical room between the license plate light and the trunk latch handle. If I tried to install it under the license plate light it would cover the trunk handle and stick out some.
Also, where can I purchase a rear license plate bracket and where would I install it? I really appreciate any assistance you can provide me.

Thanks!
Charlie Malo

Look in my gallery. There is a rear pic of my midstates, I had the same problem. Plate is attached by drilling holes in trunk lid and inserting screws.
Hated to drill the holes but had to put the plate on.

Sharpe, You didn't include a link to your gallery for me to see the pics.

I wouldn't drill through the trunk skin. Instead make a bracket that goes behind the license plate light and extends straight out to the sides (unlike the correct bracket that drops down below).

That's what I was planning on doing, I'd never drill through the trunk skin.

Much appreciated,
Charlie
