Note

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.

Step 2: Twist the screw included with the bracket in tightly to the tow hook.

Step 3: Screw in the license plate tightly with the bracket.

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.

Additional Information

This page features one set aluminum front bumper tow hook mounting adapter bracket for the license plate.

You can directly bolt on this bracket/adapter to your vehicle's front bumper tow hole and have the license plate mount there instead of drilling and damaging the vehicle's front bumper.

Unlike most license plate adapters on the market that simply use black paint to cover a basic aluminum plate, iJDMTOY has a specially crafted matte-finish, powder coated version of the license plate adapter that is now more durable with a longer lifespan.

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.
