CravenSpeed Tow Hook License Plate Holder on VO 1M

I know there's another thread were people have been looking for a front tow hook license plate holder for our 1M's and ones have had issues where they were too short or not the right fit. These allow for 1-1.5 inch clearance and since the product is built from high quality, the sturdiness does not allow for the product to scratch the bumper if there are any concerns.

Cravenspeed have solved those problems. They have created a product that is very well constructed and thought out. The product quality is great. Finish is a very high quality powdered black that goes great with car.

The pictures below show the quality of the packaging along with the installation of the product. If you are interested in purchasing this, contact Kellen who provides great customer service and support for pricing. Let him know I sent you and he can provide a great price for you.

looks like it rubs the bumper to me.

Also whats the price? As far as I can tell thats the only thing that would set this apart from the CPe product. Which is the current standard

I have a similar holder from gominigo. It's not as elaborate as this one, but it has more clearance on the edges towards the middle of the car. As mentioned above, the pictures above look like it's almost rubbing the bumper.

I guarantee that it is not rubbing. If it was I would not have put it on the car.

I haven't used a front plate in the past 6 years, despite living in two states that "require" them. If I ever get pulled over or ticketed for lack of front plate, I will buy one of these.

I got mine from US Mill Works and am very happy with it. It mounts via a ball-and-socket affair that allows for positioning it with precision.

Personally, I think the easiest option is to just move to a no front plate state.

That would be about four blocks for me, but I then I would have to root for the Kansas Jayhawks instead of the Mizzou Tigers. I'd rather put up with the license plate.

Another vote for US Mill Works. Great product, great service... I mean really great! This guy went out of his way to get mine right, I think I may have been the 1st 1M, as he had no measurements. He had me take some measures and he made sure he got the right length bolt then had me send him pictures of the installed product.
