Stillen or GoMiniGo
Has anyone with a 13 non Nismo tried either one of these lic plate bracket kits? Neither one of the places can varify if the kits will work with the 13 bumper. My dealership said the part #s for the tow hooks are the same, therfore the thread diameter should work. However measuring myself, the threads seem to be larger than 24mm. Stillen said they have two kits, one with a extension lenght of 5 1/8in and the other 7 1/2in, both using the
24mm for the Z. Since these are not returnable items (Stillen says considered used if returned), I want to see if anyone out there has used them yet. Thank you for your help |

I have a 2012 Nismo and love the GoMiniGo (I also have an offset bracket). However, I bent the flat mounting bracket behind the plate holder so it was angled more with the body of the bumper. Make sure you get the Nissan 370Z NISMO Edition 'NO HOLES' LPB Kit. This should fit without any issues on yours since the bumper itself has seen no changes as far as I know.
Here's an image of the mounting with everything but the piece that holds the plate, the plate itself, and the plate frame. (*It has everything I was talking bout in the previous paragraph.) |

Thank you, however mine is not a Nismo. I went ahead and ordered the kit since they will accept returns, as Stillen would not on this. Since it has two brackets with it, I am sure I can get one to work. Also don't want to block the oil cooler either.

Not a problem. My bad on getting your trim confused. I read through your post really quickly. I thought you said you had a NISMO. In either case, it should fit. :] I don't think they come with the offset bracket unless you order it.
Without the offset bracket, you can only adjust height. (Since it's mounted centrally.) With the offset bracket, you can adjust it left/right + height. Neither bracket covers the other's locations. I don't think you'll be disappointed :] The nice part is you can adjust the distance the plate sticks out since it comes in pieces rather than one solid bar. That's what sold me on this one. I could always make it longer. Last edited by eterneSoul; 11-19-2012 at 03:17 PM. |
