Front Plate Bracket (picture request)

I know someone here must have a non-OEM front plate bracket (Stillen perhaps?)! I cannot for the life of me find a picture of the Stillen front plate bracket on a G coupe. Please post pictures if you have this bracket. Side-view shots preferably. Appreciate it!

Thanks!

I used to do that in my old car... Not anymore. Still just as bad as no front plate.

Helpful responses, guys! That eBay bracket looks good!

The plate on the dash sounds pretty dangerous! Couldn't it decapitate a passenger in an accident?!

I had the Stillen one. The thing ended up rusting so bad I couldn't take it apart anymore. You'd think they'd use something besides steel. I'd never buy that one again.

Don't get hit by a car. Don't fall off your bicycle. Accidents happen, buddy.

It may be due to galvanic reaction (corrosion) of differing metals in contact with each other and the amount of time that they come in contact... Male threaded steel bolt (plate mounting bolt) affixed to aluminum female threaded bumper attachment point. Tow hook is zinc coated/plated and used rarely if never. Plate mount bolt is "stuck on" to keep vehicle code compliant (unless you remove every night before going to bed).
