Front plate holder for tow hook
 
My plates just came in the mail today and I'm not "excited" to put on my front plate.

I'm thinking of getting one of those front plate holder that attaches onto the front tow hook.

Any recommendations for which brands and/or styles? Thanks.

You can always use the GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocation Kit, i heard good reviews from them! I myself don't use a front licence plate mount, or relocation kit because i zip tied my licence plate behind the grill. :thumbsup:

Installed mine the other day, I love it. I don't like the plates covering the airflow to the radiator.

Although everyone that I asked (mostly family members and non-car friends), hated it.

Yeah that's my current problem as well. Got my plates two days ago and the dealership didn't install the front bracket.
I do not like the tow hook mount either though. I also was considering ziptieing it. I just don't want it to look like crap so for now it is in the back seat and will be put in the window if I have to publically park and hopefully the Denver Nazi parking cops let it go. Which they probably won't.

I'm here in Cali, so police are pretty strict! If they ever pull me over, i'll pull the "My car didn't come with a front licence plate holder officer, but i put it there as best as i can." card. LOL Want a pic?

I have the GrimmSpeed kit, and I get compliments from non-car people and car people alike. Surprisingly it's usually the thing they like the most about my car...

I have the Perrin one. Never had problems with cops. Quick and easy install.
Only downfall is if you don't tighten it people screw with it...

Yeah a pic would be good. We are moving to SoCal in a few months...

Im using the Perrin one. I like that better because it is not as bulky and it looks nice =)

I can attest to the quality and look of the GrimmSpeed one. It is usually one of the first things people notice about my car and it does draw a lot of compliments.
