I don't have holes for the bottom of my license plate frame and after adding Dynmat to it, the bottom sticks out about 2 inches and it looks STUPID! I want to drill holes for the bottom screws but I need to know if its safe.
Anything behind that metal panel less than 1 inch deep?
Thanks!

you have to put mat there? can't just use some weather striping?

I put Dynamat on the inside of the trunk lid but that was last year. I Dynamat'd the license plate so it wouldn't vibrate on heavy bass. Now it sticks out so far it looks silly. I'll take a photo and post it. Yeah, I gues I could have used weather stripping but I have about 2sq ft of mat left

Since the dynamat will take care of the rattling, you dont really need to the bottom of the plate to the trunk. What I've done on other cars on occasion is use the bolt and nut just to attache the frame to the plate. Cut off the back of the screw so its flush with the nut, and put a felt pad or something over the nut and screw so it doesnt scratch the trunk lid. Or use nylon license plate screws, which wont scratch the paint.
