It screws into where the front tow hook threads into the frame throught the bumper. No muss, no fuss.

Even less expensive is the STILLEN BRACKET

You can check out my pics as I dont have a clue how to include here (sorry), but in my most recent album the bumper you see was patched and sprayed, and it looks and was finished perfectly...that is no one can tell it looks just like factory.

Mine was done by a local shop that does work on modded cars, but seems to me if its done similarly you will never think about it again...

Hope it goes well!

Nice Nismo667, it almost looks like parking sensors.

Like I said. Go to Lowes/Ace Hardware look in the hardware section for white plugs/caps. I think they're made to cover the screw heads to give a finished look. I've seen Black and White only. I'll see if I have any at home. I'll take a picture.

If you have a NISMO, then the moweraxle tow hook adapter is the one that you want. The Stillen works with the rest. Check out my albums (Daily one) to see the pics of it installed on a NISMO.

Unbeleiveable!! I almost told them to keep the car, but being in a state that requires a front plate I decided to take the car and just conform to the law. Again after having it a week or so I found some small black plastic plugs at an Ace Hardware store. Same thing only it was less noticeable being Black. Again, it's not perfect but it's a solution.

AUGGHHH!! That would piss me off beyond belief! When I walked into the dealer that was the first thing I said. If it had a front plate, or you guys install one, the deal is off.

I'm in Illinois too. And i simply don't give a sh** about our front plate law. With my old car and my new nismo, i've been driving without a front plate for well over 4 years without an incident. I've gotten speeding tickets before and the officers don't care as long as you're respectful. If I do get pulled over for it I won't BS the officer either. Simply put I will just say I refuse to drill into my bumper and pay the fine.

Just installed the moweraxle kit. Super easy, sturdy, and looks great. Larry shipped it out the next day. Didn't think I would like the offset mount but its slowly growing on me.

Im am not going to put one on mine even though I can get a ticket for it. But if I ever did have to put one on.. it would be the one above. The offset looks nice! Best one I have seen.
