    Front license plate mount

    Not sure if someone has figured this out or not. It turns out the Nissan Juke and the Mirage have the same thread and pitch for their tow hook.

    Picked one of these up a few days ago and fits perfectly, a cheap investment to save drilling holes in your front bumper and still be compliant with law if the man requires a front plate.

    I got one of those plate mounts as well. Mine was for the Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ. Fits like a glove. Been on the car for nine months now, out of state road trips and I've only had to retighten it twice. I might use some thread locker on it to keep it secure but I'm happy with it.

    The light bar is a generic eBay one. 20" in length 126W. The mount is a license plate bull bar. Just search on eBay or Amazon and it will come up. I have more pictures in my garage.

    According to their profile page, hatchbackkid82 hasn't logged on in three years. I would be interested to see how it is holding up too.

    That's good news. Now let's see some pictures of your work.

    I hope you can sell them and recover some of your money. That's frustrating too, because it's how cheap little projects get to be expensive little projects.
