Q: How can I install my tow hook license plate mount to minimize any gaps between the bracket and my vehicle? A: iJDMTOY's tow hook license plate adapter is designed to accommodate all trims for a particular vehicle as well as customer's preference on how they want to mount the bracket. Each bracket has 8 different curved mounting locations so that the bracket can be positioned accordingly to the design of the vehicle as well as angle adjusted for personal preference. Most customers choose to mount the tow hook license plate adapter bracket at the center location.

This is the most popular look, with a smaller gap towards the inner part of the car and a wider gap at the outer side. You can even adjust the angle of the license plate bracket before you secure it in place. If you prefer a more flush look, the outer left hand mounting positions allow the bracket to sit closer to the bumper.

Since this bracket is designed to fit different vehicle trims and options, you may need to bypass the parking sensor. If this is the case, the positions on the right hand side are also a viable option. If you feel that there is too much gap between the edge of the vehicle and the bracket, you can also adjust the angle of the bracket as well.
