Thanks, CK!
The bottom two holes would normally be empty, as there are no holes. I pushed two cut down bolts (so there wouldn't be any risk of them scratching the paint) through, capped each with a small nut, then added the screw cover on the front. Looks much better than two empty holes!

IrishT, That looks pretty slick. I may have to try the empty holes deal...
As for me, I'm using an old smoked plastic cover that I've had on the past 2 vehicles as well. It's simple, low-key, and just blends the back quite nice. The 2 empty holes at the bottom have been bugging me.
I had to put some thick pieces of felt (think something you'd put on table or chair legs so they don't scratch a wood/tile floor) on the back of the plate at the bottom to prevent rattling AND scratching...

After a month of having the Acura frame, I'm getting tired of it and just put a regular chrome one back on like Irish T's, but I wish I could figure out how Irish put the chrome holes at the bottom?

Glad you like the results! It's very simple, really. The frame comes with 4 screw covers, each in two parts (top chrome cover, bottom screw holder - they snap together)
First, find some nuts/bolts that will fit in the bottom frame holes - I ended up using a small, thin bolt with a washer between the bolt and the screw holder. Then screw the nut onto the bolt from behind the plate, again making sure that the bolt isn't too long - otherwise it will scratch the paint. I had to cut mine down a bit. Snap the chrome cover onto the bottom cover, and you're done!
Hope that helps!
