Default Front plate mounting question

I just picked up a front plate for my 06' and was wondering if there are any special mounting brackets I should pick up or consider using for mounting it before I just go and start drilling holes in my front bumper.

I just drilled directly into the bumper, regardless of how you mount it you are gonna need to drill the fascia...

Cool. Thanks. Obviously I will have to do a little drilling, but just wanted to check on what you guys here recomend before I went and just did it, then discovered I could have done it a better/different way. Any recomendations for the screws/bolts?

Thanks. Especially for not doing the whole "run a search" response I have gotten in some for the other forums for cars I have (non dodge). I honestly appreciate it.

that is what you do. drill directly into the bumper. but those of us with front and rear state plates already have them drilled at the dealer.
