Just be creative and make your own. Its not hard and can be done for under five bucks.

here is a pic from the Cusco site of the license relocation bracket. I have installed a couple out here and didnt need to drill any holes. It is basically goof for moving the license plate away from blocking fresh air to the radiator.

I have the cusco relocation as well

it bolts into the stock location..

only problem I had was the stock bolts were rusty and broke off when i was removing the frame.. doh

it's 2 pieces that bolt into each other.. then 1 side into the car.. 1 side into the plate...

my plate holes did not match the cusco frame tho.. so I have to re-drill another hole..

it is also angled down alot... as u can see.. so i've bent my plate to compensate..

dunno if ur local cops will give u a problem about that tho..
