Front License Plate tow-hook holder
 
I've seen a number of different vehicles that have available after-market front license plate holders that are attached to the front end via the tow hook holder. Has anyone seen one of these for the 370?

Stillen has one, I have it on my car. Comes with everything you need - sorry I don't have any pics of it installed.

Hey Dreamer, looks like you had the bracket on there at once point. How'd you get the holes patched up? I was thinking about this but those dang holes.... Maybe heat it up and plastic weld but blegh.

Never had the front bumper drilled, was very specific, those are the stock dimples from factory so they know where to drill. If you want to fill them they something that can pop into that hole (different sizes) and no one will ever notice really, but the name escapes me currently. :(

Just ordered it!

Same here. Advised the dealer there would be hell to pay.

On my G I had to use BumperPlugs . I was pissed to see the front plate on it after make ready. They offered to replace the front bumper cover but I took the $250 in service dollars instead.

I think I'm just going to buy the carbon fiber front license area cover from the Z store. I'm not a huge carbon fiber fan, but this looks pretty nice.

I wish other companies would develop this piece and make them cheaper!

Spartan 1771 01-18-2010 09:24 PM

I agree. The price is kinda up there.

good idea with the stillen plate holder, but it looks off centered. Needs to be moved over about 6 more inches closer to the headlamp.

That is why I removed mine and it sits in my house, I still have my front plate attached to it for those "just in case" situations.

it's off center due to the tow hook location, they kept it to a real simple design, just a holding sticking straight out of the tow hook spot

I've seen this on a number of cars: Mini Cooper, Porsche, VW, etc. I actually like that it's a little off set. It's different.
