If you're not familiar with JDM or Australian market vehicles, you'll find that the fastener spacing for the plates is different than that for the North American market. In the past, I've just used an old license plate (drilled in the appropriate places) turned around backwards as an adapter to mount the active plate.This showed up on my driveway. It hasn't been washed or detailed yet, but that'll happen.

I've seen a couple products out there to adapt for the plates; however, most seem to force the plate mounting location to be a good bit higher than what is optimal or even possible (due to overhangs or license lights, etc.). Well, I finally found a decent solution that is simple and mounts the plate at the exact same height as the JDM plate would be. One could make a set of these for themselves quite easily; however I opted to buy these and they work like a charm. The kit comes with the screws to attach the adapter to the car and appropriate thickness bushings to give you plenty of stand-off space for you to use your own hardware to mount the active plate to the adapter.

And here's the completed installation of the front plate on my Toyota Century:
