Anyone done anything creative to NOT drill the front bumper but place it where it still looks (bite my tongue) decent. I was considering doing the tow hitch plate holder so I can remove it and it will never show anything. Has anyone tried it? I contacted someone that MFG's them and they are in the process of making them for our car. They already do for the ISx50 but it wont fit out car. I have seen a few DIY threads and its not too hard to make either.

 

Zip ties and 40# fishing mono did the trick for me. I tied my front plate holder to the bottom grill.

 

I was really against drilling my bumper but after 3 fix it tickets in So Cal I went to Home Depot and bought (2) 1 inch "L" brackets, 4 nut, bolt and locking washer sets. I drilled on the upper side of the bumper (parallel to the ground) on the opening with the mesh. You can't see the holes when I take the front plate off but it really has a clean look when it is on.

this is what i did on my gs400, is300, and gs350 before i got my bumper replacement

 

thanks. I was thinking of the tow hook or the L brackets also. I just need to do it and live with it as much as I hate to.

 

That's nice.

 

yeah on my stock bumper there are 2 holes on the "bottom" side of the "upper" side of the air dam (if you can imagine what i am talking about). can't really see it unless you get very low
