since a couple people asked me about this I told my friend who made it for mine I would post a thread for the custom bracket he put on my car, this is the only picture i have at the moment since my car is still at his shop getting body work done.



He took this picture of the mount before he put it on my car i believe


for those that are interested PM me, hes asking for 60$ Shipped in US

bracket to mount, not the frame

unless I'm mistaken he's talking about the license bracket (the thing that the license plate and the frame will screw unto to secure it to the car), not the license plate frame itself.

i mean the actually mounting for it, i havnt gotten the car back yet, i can ask him to take pictures of what he used, but yeah thats the reason i asked him to do it, because apparently there isnt one that fits the Nismo

doesn't the Nismo model have tow hook like the others? If so, the Stillen bracket should work.

the stillen bracket doesnt work, i called stillen, and performance nissan, some custom work is needed, i posted a picture of the custom mount on my first post

This is made through steel that he fabricated, MIG welded.

The Nismo bumper covers the toe hook so, no it does not work. This mod is more for Nismo Zs only, as there are tons of other manufactures that make license plate brackets for oem bumpers, i.e. Stillen, Zee bracket, etc.

klaze1

exactly, i told him to make me one because i couldnt find any for the Nismo.

zee bracket and stillen, do not, i repeat do not fit the nismo... the nose is much longer for the screw they use, and will not reach the tow hook... it would be nice if someone does make one for the nismo that uses the tow hook, like that no drilling into the front bumper...

to the OP... it looks like he just screwed an "L" bracket onto your bumper, on a spot that is not too noticeable, is this correct? or does it go into the tow hook?

arsey.. you are an idiot. Read the previous threads bud. Klaze, thanks for the info. I may be PMing you soon, if my little contraption doesn't pan out!

klaze1

yeah its hardly visible, much better than not having plates and risking getting pulled over

Too late for me. The idiot stealership had already drilled the holes when I took delivery.

no license mounting for me but I have to send my tow hook to be extended 2 inches.
original tow hook is a bad joke if you try to tow your car
