Sorry _AMG_. I hate that crap. I'd take you for some Chipotle if I was in LA to take the burn off. After you get the tow hook installed, take a pic and show it. I wanna see how it looks...

I think it looks funny to have it on the side of the front bumper... reminds me of some Hondas. I would just install it in the middle to balance.

I got it on Azusa canyon. The pig also gave me a ticket for crossing the double yellow line by mere inches.

Thanks Zephyr, I could also go for some Chipotle haha.
I will definitely take pictures of the tow hook bracket.
I would like to mount it right in the middle but i don't want to drill any holes in the bumper.

If it were up to me I wouldn't even put plates in the front haha. I just don't wanna drill any holes in the bumper but it does look cleaners right in the center.

_AMG_ sucks to hear--I actually got pulled over for the exact same thing in my town a few weeks back.
He let me go because I told him the dealer didn't have the correct bracket and we're waiting for it to come in (cough--bu!!$h!t)
Anyway, I'm sure he'll pay me a visit next Spring when the car comes out again!

I got my tow hook from GoMini and I used it for my State inspection and then off it comes--if I get a ton of tickets for the "no front plate" I will have to come up with something.

Personally, I think the tow hood bracket looks horrible--but I bought mine just to get through inspections.
It is very well made and not cheap looking or feeling in anyway.

I've thought about creating a bracket that can mount underneath the front bumper and suspend the plate in the middle of the lower bumper area.
Haven't found such a thing, but maybe it already exists--front plates look like crap...period.

Did you have the MB3 'NO HOLES' LPB Kit? or is it MB1 or MB2?

I have the MB3 'No Holes' LPB kit. I also have the 'No Holes' Offset1 - Offset Angle Bracket to allow me to move the plate a little closer to the centre of the car. I also bought a CF license plate frame from Suvneer to dress up the plate a little.

It Probably blocks some of the sensors in the front bumper.

just remember the anti seize compound for the threads so you can get it back out again after awhile.
