Default Licence plate alternatives?

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but my stock license plate frame was ripped off in the carwash today (see pic) and i'm not sure if it's worth replacing or what the alternatives are. Any suggestions? I have my plate zip tied to my spare at the moment...

I just bolted on a license plate holder designed for a TJ, it's made by Warrior products, got it from Quadratec.

I tried to bolt on a new side mount replacement plate from warrior products....well made, but attachment was poorly thought out..at least on the 2011 wrangler. The rear bolts are self tapping but the side bolts have nuts that are impossible to get to. So long story short, the plate is on with the rear bolts only and i stripped the aluminum side bolts trying to get them attached. Fml
