License Plate Frames

Hello, all. I know this seems like a simple question but many custom
license plate frames have only two holes for screws at the top. The
rear plate mounting location on a car often uses 4 screws. Do most of
you in this situation find 2 holes sufficient for secure mounting
without the plate flapping around? Thanks for your time and comment.
Sincerely,

Answer is Yes, if well mounted on the top holes. I dont particularly
like it, but in my case there is no obvious alternative.

You can always use 3M double sided foam tape or velcro (industiral
style...resists water better...)

License plate frames? Why?

A bunch of frames will have a lip at the bottom to hold the plate in
place so just having the two top holes will hold it good enough (for
the front plate). For the rear putting two in the top should be good
enough, but 4 is always better.

Hello, and thanks to all who responded. Why? I just wanted to tout my
undergrad Alma mater, Virginia Tech. Go Hokies! Sincerely,
