Thread Count for Tow Hook Same for 2008 X Models? (Front License Plate Bracket)
I bought the bracket from Stillen for my front license plate because I do not want to destroy the bumper by drilling holes in it. Stillen said they are unsure whether the thread of the bracket which fits the coupe is the same thread for the X models as well so the order is on hold for now while we research. I have a 2008 G35XS.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

There should be a small space at the bottom to stick a flathead screw driver, it will pop out towards you, away from the bumper.

pop the trunk and pull up the mat, the foam over your spare tire holds the scissor jack, lug nut wrench with extension and the tow ring, measure the threads on it. Unless of course you tossed all of that for more space/less weight, or bought it used and the previous owner ditched it, in which case nevermind

Thanks everyone for the advice! I was able to find the hook in the trunk by the spare tire. I sent pictures of it to Stillen. Hopefully they can make sense of it and see if it will fit...I'll keep you posted.

Will be interesting if they determine the thread size and pitch from a picture. Did you at least measure the O.D. of the fastener ? From that, they can really make an educated guess (thread sizes are standardized, you can visually tell the difference between 'fine' thread and 'coarse' thread, and they'll convert it to mm as well).

Clearance from tow hook to front of vehicle.
Menards said thread pitch is 7/8ths.
