Default Tow Hook Plate Holder

After a long search, I've found the perfect license plate holder for the my car.
For places which need the front plate, this is not a bad solution, too bad my dealer already had my bumper drilled

Creative, I think your the first to do this. Please explain how to do this? Just incase some other members needs to put on the plates to get their tickets written off

Creative!!

I once saw on a Ford Lighting, he had a sticker/decal made that looked EXACTLY like his license plate.

So therefore that was his license plate replacement.

I didn't make it myself, I just bought it from someone who just started to make the tow hook plate holder business. I just provided him with the IS measurement and pay for the finish product. Unfortunately i didn't have their website/email at this time.

I've did some research on the similar product. and this is the best one I've seen so far. Because the plate had 15 different positions for the plate placement. You also adjust the angle of the plate as well and it make with aluminum.
Lucky I didn't buy the gominigo one.

How tamper resistant is it? Couldn't someone just come along and turn the whole bracket counter clockwise to unscrew it and take it away?

Yes; but you could add 20 seconds and a screw driver and do the same thing with any other plate out there...
