Tow-hook license plate mounts

Hey guys,

I constantly get grief from the police around here for having no front plate on the 2014...I just can't do it....but I found these tow-hook adapter front plate mounts that might be a good solution!!

Certainly for the ZL1 with it's giant maw of a front grille....the tow-hook is easily accessible on these cars.

Anybody find any other companies that might offer them?

I think the ZL1 will have the same removable grill section as the other Camaros to make use of the tow hook without any mods.

I did drill a hole in the LP for quick removal to switch in the pretty ZL Add-ons tow hook. I hope I never need to switch.

Nope can't either. In all of my years of driving there has only been one time that I received a ticket for no plate. That was on the freaking beach. Cop with nothing else to do.

I hate the front plate too, but after recently getting pulled over in my Ats-v I said screw it and bought a Rho-Plate. Good stuff, top notch quality. I'd rather be doing 100 in Mexico with a front plate than without.

I thought i saw a $60 addy for a front Lic plate when you order...I'm assuming we need to stay away from the GM version??

I too may go without till I see how LE reacts.

So forget the front plate... who's got the best tow hooks?

Need to get one on the way for the new Z. Can't believe GM doesn't offer this as an option.

Or..... you could just move to Florida and avoid the whole front plate thing altogether !! Along with changing over to winter tires, snow, ice, road salt, chipping ice off of windshields and my favorite, below 50 degree weather. However, you will still have to put up with New York drivers down here !!!!!
