Front Plate Mount

I'm moving from a state that has no front plate to a state that requires one. My 2006 Corolla doesn't have any screws on the front. Can someone recommend a good universal mount? I'm assuming it would be better to mount an L shaped bracket on the underside of the bumper to avoid screwing directly into the front of the bumper.

Mine didn't have a front license plate mount -- the dealer had just screwed the front license plate directly to the bumper cover. (I think there are supposed to be a couple of faint dimples on the cover marking where the screws go.)

I can appreciate the simplicity of the design and Toyota's approach to it, but when I took the car through the car wash the front plate bent. The Toyota parts catalog doesn't list a front plate mount for the 2003 Corolla. I bought a Camry plate mount (PN 75101-AA040) from the same era for under $8 (discounted) and it works fine.
