I called STILLEN to make sure that the tow hook that they give fits.

It DOES NOT fit with the nismo bumper. It needs an extension or some sort of modification for it to fit.

Does anyone have any solutions?

unless you own a machine shop then no. my company builds large and medium generators for the oil industry. i had them cut it, then weld in a piece of 3-1/4" aluminum stock. they grinded it back down and i painted it black...

its actually not a lot of work just a bit time consuming. had my shop actually charged me for labor it would have been a couple hours of work plus the actual part from stillen. not cheap for a license plate holder but where i live they will pull you over once you pull outa your drive way for no plates.

You should be able to go into any hardware store and purchase a metric threaded extension.

Kind what I was thinking about, but I'm not running the Stillen tow hook plate mount. If someone has it and doesn't mind measuring how much clearance they need, I'd definitely be willing to help you out.

Can someone just fabricate one for the Nismo already and sell it so I can rip the dealer permit off my windshiled? Until I find a solution it will remain on my windshield and I'm not mounting any plates front or back and will keep my fingers crossed =P
