If you have a sport model this solution will work. Use the OEM bracket and mount it inside of the lower air dam using a couple of screws through the holes and bolt behind. The bottom of the plate is still above the lowest portion of nose. I am working on another more custom solution and will post if it works out.
Here's some pics of what I've got.
I took the 150mm stud from www.mcmaster.com and cut one end of it off, then used a 1" standard coupling from Home Depot.
I don't own a cut saw, and a sawsall doesn't get it straight enough, so I had the local muffler shop cut it - they did it for free.
Threaded piece (the cut stud) goes into tow hook, coupling attaches to that, Stillen plate bracket attaches to that...done...
The stud I'm talking about is here: http://www.mcmaster.com/
Go to "Threaded studs" under the "Fastening and Sealing" section, then click on "Threaded Rods and Studs", then click on "Equal Thread Length Rods and Studs", then Click "Standard" and select "Metric Thread Size = "M24" and pitch = 3mm.
(Unfortunately their site won't let me link right to it)
Although I may look for a shorter length coupling because I'd like to get it a little closer to the bumper.

For those we are curious, I got this reply from Stillen:
Unfortunately, we do not have a bracket specifically designed for the G37.
You can use the template online at www.stillen.com to see which kit will work best for your G37.

I was using a 64mm coupling, and that is obviously too long.
Looking everywhere on the intertubes I can - there's nothing out there shorter. 64mm is standard length.
I'm considering having a shop just weld on the extra threading instead of using a coupling.
