Exactly, bend up the old plate at the ends, screw the new on top of the old. Use shallow screws so they don't hit the body. Plates are soft aluminum, rusted screws that won't come out are steel, much easier to make new holes in the plates.
Crude but effective, faster, and if needed I can remove the new plate and transfer to another car.
