Stillen Front License plate bracket

Has anyone measured their G37 to see if the Stillen bracket would fit?

i remember someone with an 07 sedan installed one. i'm assuming it should be quite similar to that.

I'm also interested in this. Does anyone know for sure if the 07 sedan will fit the G37?

I just looked at the tow hook and it has a number 25 on it. If this is the mm thread base then it is not going to work with the current Stillen product. Does anyone have a thread gage that could check this? Thanks.

I know in NY you need a front plate so mine came with the bracket already drilled on on from the dealer. Otherwise I would get that

Ordered one after verifying with my local Hardware store that the thing really is 24mm x 3.0 thread.

It looks like it's aobut 6" to clear the bumper and the 2006 G35 Stillen Kit is 5 7/8ths....so we'll see.

I figure I can fashion some kind of extension if I have to.

I don't think this is going to work....that needs to stick out another 2-3 inches to completely clear the bumper.

any ideas?
