Default front license plate bracket?

I guess Stillen doesn't make one for the Nismo. I just called and they won't make one since it's limited production and not many people will buy it. It requires a 22mm thread with about 6 3/4" distance to clear the front bumper. Anyone have any other alternatives that don't involve drilling into the bumper? I might just make one for myself.

The Stillen one will work since it connects into the toe bolt hole up front. It comes with extensions. The Z-Bracket will not though.

Which one did you get? Stillen won't sell me one. What length bolt and what length extension? Mine looks to be a 22mm bolt. Thanks for the help.

I originally got the Z-Bracket but it wasn't even close to fitting. I have seen the Stillen one in person and it should work. I just decided to go without one for now.

Dunno the details, but it's the same as a 07 Z.

Great. I think I'll have to come up with some way to lengthen it since I don't think a 90mm bolt will work. Let's see what we can find. Thanks for the resource.

Just for you. No holes drilled into the bumper.






In case you were wondering, it's already off the car.

I'm very sad to say that when I got mine, it already had the bumper drilled, sucks, when I first took off the front plate, it made my heart drop when I saw the holes, I know a great body shop that I'm going to help me fill them, so in the mean time I have to wait till I do that before I get a clearbra, awwww, it's only when I have to deal with CA stupid dmv laws that I sometimes regret living in SoCAL, but then I remember how I don't have to deal with snow, and it brings me back to a calm.

TJ350Z - made it myself with the basic idea from the thread posted on here. Bigger longer bolt and sprayed it black. 22mm x 200mm.

Tarzan_0802 - that's why I live in TX.

My bumper was pre-drilled as well, but it's not that bad. They're so small, that I doubt the overpriced "bumperplugs" would fit.

I'm just going to leave it as it. After the rock-chips start accumulating, I probably won't even notice them.
