kuruma z bumper and front license plate?

I have a kuruma z bumper on the way and was wondering if the Stillen front license plate mount would work with it? They have a couple different thread types as well as lengths for the tow hook bolt - wanted to know if anyone has this setup? I would run without a front plate, but I live by LAX and the cops around here pull you over just for that.

just stick it inside the center hole and zip tie it to the grill.

you can still get a ticket for using zip ties... it needs to be "permanently" attached. If the cop wants to be a dick he can give you a ticket for it

I ended up getting the Stillen license plate mount and it's about an inch too short with the Kuruma bumper. I just got a longer bolt and that fixed the problem - looks better without a plate, but I've already gotten 2 tickets for no front plate so...

Where did you find the 24mm bolt that fits the '05+ coupes?

Here's a thread with some pics - there's a couple night pics on the bottom.
https://g35driver.com/forums/picture-share/115943-quick-shoot-05-dg-coupe-kuruma-front-impul-sides.html

I paid $700 for the bumper and sides to be prepped, painted, and installed. Keepp in mind that the daytime pics in that thread were taken before I had it repainted... the color was a little off - they took it back and now it looks perfect!

I ordered the Stillen tow hook/plate bracket straight through Stillen's website, got here in 2 days.

I should be getting my grilles for the bumper this weekend, if I do I'll take pics of the Stillen bracket... it wasn't too hard to get it to work with this bumper.
