Features

No drill or modification required! Directly screw into original tow hole to mount the license plate instead of drilling holes into your front bumper
Unlike "copycats" on the market, our license mounting plate is made of black powder coated steel instead of aluminum; much stronger, more durable and better prevents the license plate from spinning due to high-speed driving
Also come with 8 different mounting locations to best keep the plate from blocking intake vents / lights / parking sensors with angle adjustment for plates to follow the curve of the bumper

Notes

Check the product compatibility list in the product description to make sure your vehicle is listed
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 space will give you the hand-space needed 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 may trigger the sensor

If you want to further secure the tow hook license plate, you can get some Loctite Threadlocker tool from Walmart. Just search "Loctite Blue".

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.

If your vehicle has parking sensors that are close to the tow hole, you may trigger the sensors after installing the tow hook license plate mount. You can try to choose a different mounting location to try to minimize or even eliminate the parking sensor trigger.

If you do happen to trigger the parking sensor, just reposition the mounting plate to one of the eight locations (a good one is the bottom lower corner location) in order to minimize or eliminate the parking sensor. If you trigger the parking sensor, it will only be triggered during very slow driving, parking or reversing. You can see that the last picture shows much less surface area of parking sensor trigger after positioning to the corner location. You will not trigger the parking sensor when driving at normal speed.

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.

Tow Hook License Plate Works Perfect	December 5, 2016
Reviewer: Cheryl from United States

Tow hook license plate adapter works great on my 2010 Mercedes Benz E350. Don't try to move the plate after installation and it won't move while driving (it's not a garden pinwheel folks!) Use the washers for a tighter fit. The pipe that goes into the tow hole is tight and won't be going anywhere.
