I have this one coming in today. Heard good things about it. Will let you know how it turns out, but it's the only one I saw on amazon that got good reviews, and I had Amazon credit to burn.
Dude, buy the platypus for your license plate holder. It looks better, doesn't block the grill at all, and requires no new holes in your bumper. I bought it for mine and it's wonderful.

Thanks. The mount is from Amazon, the Platypus Tow Hook mount. Bought it at $79, it's now $93. Pricey but one time purchase.

So my state requires me to have it on as well which is pain; dealer never drilled holes which I'm fine with so I went right on amazon and found a $30 one. It's knock off and it works...but honestly I wish I spent the money on either the platypus plates or the one from US Milworks is really really good.
I went the cheap route and it's not the best but it does it's job
Its great! It was cool because the dealer asked me if I wanted them to drill into the bumper or not. I said no thanks and picked up this

You can always use something like this. Which is probably what I would do if I had to have a front plate.
It's this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MARZUI8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_MtgJwbXX8K8N3
I have the CravenSpeed Platypus, it sits flush on my bumper (I added a strip of weatherseal to the back to disallow chafing). Goodluck, /u/porktube
Those holes are also useful for other things...

I don't know if they are any different, worth mentioning there is one made for VW GTI: http://www.amazon.com/Platypus-Holes-License-Volkswagen-2015-2016/dp/B00MARZUI8/ref=pd_sbs_263_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=41dd8M7bIHL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1X81BGSEM9H48RDDF998
Again, don't know how different it is from the BRZ FRS one.
I had this issue with my volkswagen and I use a mount that's connected to my tow hook.
