I did a thing! Tow hook Plate mount

[70sstrat08]

I finally got everything together to relocate my plate.

Parts used:

License plate mount- rho-plate
Bumper plugs- BumperPlugs for Ford
Pierce Motorsport Tow Hook Kit- 2014-2016 Fiesta ST Front Tow Hook Kit - Advance Automotive

Overall impressions:

I still wish we had a factory tow hook receiver farther to the side like the euro cars, so a bracket like this/ plate wouldn't break up the grill. However, I still prefer this to the low mount of a sto-n-sho or the factory mount. Where the tow hook meets the plate mount is adjustable and I have mine set to the farthest side horizontally and the middle mount vertically (see all the mounting locations below). The plate can also swivel to follow the contour of the bumper.

Rho-Plate:

I can't recommend this kit the Rho-Plate (V2) enough. They were the only company kind enough to help me find a tow hook stud that would fit the Pierce kit perfectly. They were extremely responsive and even provided pictures and measurements of studs they thought would work. In the end the fitment was dead on. I was even surprised how reasonable the shipping was from Canada. The mount is sturdy, light weight and highly adjustable.

Note: These are my license plate bolts the kit uses much shorter ones.

I feel bad for the guys which have to have a front full sized plate. I removed the license plate bracket and velcro'd my EU plate on the bumper, which is what I prefer over what you've done to your car. I did have to crack up at the, "I did a thing" post...

Any plate on the front should be an option.

I also feel bad for people that quote posts and have not figured out how to clean the previously posted images out yet.
