Notes

Please always check the Product Compatibility List in the Product Description to make sure your vehicle is listed.

You will also need to verify if your OEM tow hook matches the picture of the compatible tow hook shown in the product listing. Make sure the threading pattern is the same, regardless of tow bar color.

The tow bar is designed to fit a number of vehicles so the space between the bumper and the support bracket may vary slightly according to your car.

This extra space will give you appropriate hand-space to fully mount the license plate onto the support bracket to make the installation easier.

If the tow hook socket/eye and the front parking sensor's distance is less than 5" apart, the license plate mounting bracket might trigger the sensor.

Q: Will the license plate tow hole adapter bracket block my parking sensors?

A: The license plate tow hole adapter is made with 8 different locations you can choose from to mount the plate in order to avoid any parking sensors.

Q: Why is iJDMTOY's tow bar a different size from the stock tow bar?

A: At first glance, when you compare the stock tow bar and iJDMTOY's tow bar, it may seem like they are incompatible. Even though they appear to be slightly different, we have tested the iJDMTOY tow bar on actual vehicles and it will fit.

Take a look at the iJDMTOY tow bar on the left and the stock tow bar on the right. You can see the threading size and diameter are the same. We even have recent photos from our customers to demonstrate that the tow bar is compatible with the vehicle.

Q: How can I install my tow hook license plate mount to minimize any gaps between the bracket and my vehicle?

A: iJDMTOY's tow hook license plate adapter is designed to accommodate all trims for a particular vehicle as well as customer's preference on how they want to mount the bracket. Each bracket has 8 different curved mounting locations so that the bracket can be positioned accordingly to the design of the vehicle as well as angle adjusted for personal preference.

Most customers choose to mount the tow hook license plate adapter bracket at the center location. This is the most popular look, with a smaller gap towards the inner part of the car and a wider gap at the outer side. You can even adjust the angle of the license plate bracket before you secure it in place.

If you prefer a more flush look, the outer left hand mounting positions allow the bracket to sit closer to the bumper.

Tow Hook License Plate Adapter Location 03

Since this bracket is designed to fit different vehicle trims and options, you may need to bypass the parking sensor. If this is the case, the positions on the right hand side are also a viable option. If you feel that there is too much gap between the edge of the vehicle and the bracket, you can also adjust the angle of the bracket as well.

2003 BMW Z4 2. 5i. Took about 15 minutes ...	May 22, 2018
Reviewer: Darren D.

2003 BMW Z4 2.5i. Took about 15 minutes to install into the tow hook spot. The EU style front bumper license plate bracket sticks out from the bumper only about an inch. It's been on for a week so far and has not budged.

Easy tow hook license plate installation	November 14, 2016
Reviewer: Bizzy and Max from United States

This tow hook license plate mount is a great accessory to your MINI because you can mount your license plate without putting screws into your bumper. This no drill license plate mount is super easy to install and only takes a few minutes. I didn't even need to watch a youtube video to figure out how to install it. It's well built and looks like it will last the lifetime of the car.
