Can anybody that has recently removed their bumper confirm that the reinforcement bar is at the same plain as the rear license plate area? I only ask because I would like to mod the reinforcement bar to accept the tow bolt. Why, you ask. Well I plan to buy a nismo V3 front bumper which deletes the tow bolt cover.

Have you looked under the rear bumper yet? On mine there's a gap in the bottom of the bumper that clearly lets you see the bar.

So is the front reinforcement bar, yet they still designed it to accept the tow bolt. Where is there a tow hook on the rear?Originally Posted by Urbanengineer

.I've never inspected that bar in person but I'm fairly certain it would be fine as long as the wheels still turn.

Exhaust hangers is all see under my coupe. I see something that might be used to tie the car down during transport but IMO it does not look strong enough to pull the car up on a rollback. Plus the location of said piece would mess the rear bumper up if you hooked something to it.Originally Posted by Urbanengineer

Its like I thought.. The rear reinforcement is right behind the plate. Now it's just a matter of mocking up and idea.
