I've seen people ruin their bumpers and also drill right through the AC condenser trying to mount a front license plate. You would be better off just putting the license plate in the trunk and driving with out it mounted!

I did check the new one and the old one, they are just the same. The problem is when I install new one, it hard to get in to the bracket even I try to wiggle and hammer it by wooden block. Should I grind the new alternator? Or is there any good solution for it?
