Design looks good! Too bad you're not making more. Something I'd consider, even though my bumper has holes in them already. What's sick is, my license plate mount gouged lines in the paint, into the black plastic where the edges hit. I like that it's up high, where mine is mounted, and doesn't impede the flow of air too much through the front, unlike other mounting locations.

Guys,
I don't have a Nismo any longer and I had a couple front plate brackets laying around in my garage.
Either way I would be willing to send someone all of the rods and plates that I have, I know most of them should work out. I just don't have a Nismo to test fit so I don't know which ones to send you and would just send all of them.
You can see which ones work and use one of them and even sell the other ones. These have been sitting around in my garage and I don't have any intention of selling them so it could work out for someone.
I do provide pictured instructions in pdf as well that I had compiled.

This is what I have used on my nismo. There is a motorized one that I am planning on getting.

The bracket you mentioned does not work well on a Nismo, especially when the car is lowered. Also, I've seen this installed on a Nismo and it required triming of the lower plastic part of the front lip.

The bracket I have requires no drilling, it is connected via the front tow hook.

It work 100% perfect on my nismo and all I had to do was drill 3 small holes to secure the frame. There was no triming of the lower plastic part of the lip. But +1 on using the tow hook. But I wouldnt recommed blocking the air way to the condensor or radiator, it could lead to a/c problems and engine overheating due to lack of air passing through.

And you don't have to worry about any 'blocked airflow' causing a/c problems and engine overheating with the tow hook mount. First off, it doesn't block much if any airflow and second I highly doubt you would have problems if it did block some airflow. Stillen has been making this bracket for years, and I have yet to hear ANY story of ANYONE having a/c or engine overheating issues.

I'm sorry but that looks horrible, and looks like it will fly away at high speeds. The guys that had the motorized one actually mounted it in the middle where it belonged. But like I said, you had to do some trimming to make it work (not worth the surgery).

The location you have it mounted is way too low. It doesn't look good and it can't be good trying to make a right hand turn up a small incline or a bump.
You have a good looking ride and that plate just takes all the attention away from the beautiful front end. You're almost better of getting some heavy duty 3m tape and mounting the plate to the bumper above the lip.
Anyhow back on topic please...

Guys, I have some stock left over from when I used to make these plate brackets. Everything is included to make a complete front plate bracket. There are 4-5 potential brackets, I just don't have a Nismo any longer to verify which ones fit.
If you are interested in the front plate bracket PM me.
