Tow hook license plate holder?

Anyone have any leads on one of these? Sorry, I couldn't find it with the search.

I swear someone mentioned one a week or two ago.

I got mine from bimmian a couple weeks ago. $50 for stainless with no frame or 79 with a color matched frame. Good quality product that does the job. Rho plates are another recommended option

I have this one. http://rhoplate.com/Products-BMW-Z4.html

Gives you options for positioning the plate. Does the job great, no issues.

saw someone selling a bumper that had paint worn off due to this plate mounting position. Might want to put a piece of clear bra or something right behind it.

This is the one I have. Solid construction. I couldn't be happier with it. When I used it, it was perfect. I don't need it anymore now that I'm in NC if anyone is interested in buying it.

They do sit close to the bumper. But it should be fine as long as the car isn't taken through a car wash. I haven't had any problems with it rubbing against the paint. Wrenches are really close when you install your license plate though. I also ended up using a phillips head screw instead of the hex head they gave me so I could get more torque to hold the plate on better. Here's a shot of how close it sits.
