Nice solution, never thought of using a zip tie like this. For plastic where the back is not easy accessible i always made the hole smaller by melting the edges with a soldering iron, and the cut off from zip ties as filling material. And if the back was accessible, i used one of those little U shape metal plates that have threads one side, and where the U normally is placed over a hole on the edge of a metal or plastic sheet to fasten it to something else. These are very common on bodywork on cars. The rivet nut that you mentioned is also a nice alternative for this problem. Another reason for not throwing away zip tie cut off's,they will become in handy soon or later.
loved the video. Congrats on the new car btw!

Justin - dealer plate holder -- i always use them but just put them on backwards so advertismes face the bumper -- so it still prevents bent up plates
