pading between the plate and the bracket. Also the screws will sometimes rattle against the trunk, i just put some fuzzy velcro squares where they would contact.

I used some black rubber washers that go in the two handle style kitchen faucets. Just put them on the screws between the license plate and the body. What design spoiler is on your car, you might get away with cutting an old bicycle inner tube in small sections to isolate the spoiler bolts and contact points from the body.

Okay, another question. What about the rear louvers? My very last louver rattles up a storm, and I can't seem to find any way to tighten it down. Any ideas?

Dynomat will stop all rattles. I have 2 1/2 bulk kits in my 91 RS and it has very few rattles.
