What's that, your tag is wonky and just won't behave? The license plate assembly on the 2d-gen VFR is prone to being loose and no manner of tightening the two bolts on the backside of the fender will help, as those bolts are designed to bottom out on the bracket studs.
(Below) Here's a simple fix. The issue is that the rubber mounts surrounding the two studs which protrude through the fender have shrunk with age. I give them a new lease on life by simply inserting two internal tooth lock washers onto the studs (external tooth would also work).
Those teeth will grab the fender and hold everything tight.

Next issue — those two holes hiding under the license plate aren't there for aerodynamics. They're supposed to hold little nubs which keep the plate from rattling about. The good news is that they're still available from Honda for about $1.70 each.

Now's a good time to brighten up the black plastic fender by cleaning, then applying a quality plastic treatment like 303. If it's beyond that, then an application of a dye-type product like Back-to-Black or That Black Stuff will help.
