Default How does it attach?

I bought the front license plate cover from Mid-America. (The one you remove to mount your front plate)

It is going to need to be painted. But tell me, how does it attach? It's for an '87 Coupe.

I dont see any visible screws. I guess I have to go at it from the reverse side I am guessing.

Thomas:

On the bottom of the cover there are two screw holes. These holes mate up to threaded inserts in the bumper. I used stainless screws and a thin screwdriver.

This is the clear cover, but the screw placements are the same.
Just ignore the top screws since you won't need them.
