Front plate mounting using some weather stripping

Just a quick and easy idea for mounting the front plate and preventing damage to the finish.

I used some frost king 1/4" weather stripping behind the plate. The sides of the plate covering the contact surface with the bumper along with three rows horizontally is the placement I chose. For the horizontal rows, I applied one for the top, one just below the screw holes, and a final row at the lowest contact point of the bumper.

 

I glued some rubber strips on the back of mine.
