OK, front hole is a whisker over 8mm, looking online at size charts that's an M4 well nut. Small diameter bolt, but I found M4 Allen-key washer-head bolts so that helps the bolthead not pulling though the plate and mount.

OK, that's Plan B if the wellnuts fail. With stainless screws, no "dissimilar metals" problems.
BTW, with the rear plate just screwed into plastic, can I drill out the bumper cover and add wellnuts there? I am unsure what's behind there, would not want to drill through a brake line, etc. I guess I could wait; I suspect the bumper cover needs to come off to install the trailer hitch eventually, but if anyone is familiar with that part of the car -- please chime in!
