Flush Tow Hook License Mount? Which Brand?

dbchun · 09-10-2013, 09:53 PM

Id avoid the RHO bracket, it was the cheapest option so I went with them but constantly found myself re-tightening the screw, so annoying

I found a washer with rubber backing that helps stabilize things but I still have to tighten every now and then

I've had the RHO mount for over a year, and haven't had to tighten it once.

You gotta make sure you put the lock washer in the right place...

I have a US Millworks mount and it's beautifully made and solid as a rock.
Friends don't let friends use anything other than hand washes.

Looks like I'll be ordering one of these soon. And yes, friends don't let friends go through car washes

Fabricated a license plate bracket

^^ Looks nice but still not crazy about drilling anything in my bumper even if it's underneath. And also I'd be worried the plate being so close to the bumper would result in the paint scratching, especially if someone were to back into you.

I figured no one is going to really look under the bumper for the most part

. but i know people will have mixed emotions about doing that. as far as the paint scratching, none of that has happened. i have 3 self tapping screws and some 2m tape, and that $hit does not move lol.

This would be sick if you contoured the plate mount to curve of the bumper.
