Thanks to HANAKUSO for the great post.
I followed the steps to install the grimmspeed license holder that I got from Amazon (Manufacturer part #094029) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered covers from Subaru ($2.78 each).

Prepared the template with the painter's tape.

Slightly pressed on the tape to get the lines and drove my template.

Put the cover on the template, fixed it with tape, turned back and used a drill with a 7/8 spade bit. As suggested used a 3/4 grommet from Homedepot ($1.33). For a perfect fit, I had to trim a little on the right side of the hole. Thanks to the grommet

Final look:
