After some more searching I ran across a post by Mani who used double sided tape to hold rear plate on. I like that idea better than all that drilling and stuff. Since plates stay on for 7 years...car should be a real junker by the time I need to get the plate off again.

I'm thinking of using that white stuff that is maybe 1/16 inch thick...I think they call it mounting tape or mounting squares depending on what form you buy it in.

I still have one screw hole that is usable but no screw, so I figure if I can get one screw to fit that will be my safety back up in case the tape ever fails.
