Does anyone know how you would go about cutting a center square piece for the tow hook?
No, i do not have the cutout. The V3 Nismo is the latest version, and none of them have the cutout for the towhook. I would suggest making a template and tracing it on the bumper. Either use a small plunge router or better yet a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. The poly cuts real easy.

Dam, IDK if i wanna do it now. I kinda like the tow hook look. Besides, it would be nice to be able to use that stillen tow hook license plate holder. NJ is **** with no front plate

Im going to see how hard itll be to cut the square out the center. If it is, Ill probably do the magnet thing. But ya, I really do want the tow hook whole so that I can also put a Gold tow hook to flow with the brembos, lol
