Has anyone tried this?

eBay Motors: Nissan 350Z Tow Hook License Plate Holder No Drilling (item 180331348400 end time Apr-23-09 23:43:37 PDT)

Is the bar long enough to clear the bumper?

Thanks

Stillen makes one, it is about 60-70USD, I think they said the G37 model will fit the 370z.

I think (but could be wrong) one of the forum vendors, Stillen, is actually working something up for the 370Z.

Cool...

But something I am also thinking is the airflow.

If the plate is using the tow hook, it might block the airflow into the car.

Why? The surface area has already been accommodated for in the factory location as the opening size is reduced by an almost constant factor of "X' with any plate. Also, the cooling is assisted by the radiator fans, when needed.

I mean the middle front plate is fine, it doesn't block the grill.

But if the plate was placed in front of the tow hook (blocking the grill), it might block air flow.
