They have quality stuff. Maybe buy a jack lift pad at the same time and save a little on shipping.

Thanks. Just ordered this one because a local friend has it also and has been very pleased with it.

US Millworks is a little pricy but top notch quality with much flexibility on plate placement....

Thanks! Went with Moweraxle but if it does not stay level I’ll try these other options.

I'm sure it will be good. Here's a tip though. All on these tow hook mounts rely on a bolt that screws into the point. They turn because they aren't tight enough. Don't worry about the strength of the mounting point, it's engineered to tow the car. If your mounting bracket is well engineered you need to torque the thing down reaaalllly tight, then reposition the plate to be level. You generally use the plate and bracket to do this so it helps if it's been well made.

I don't disagree on that price point. But I did want something that would absolutely stay put. I did not want any part of it to come into contact with the bumper after being subject to wind an vibration over time.
Also, you can place the plate pretty much anywhere, up, down , left right, to get the least worst look, (I hate front plates) or impact airflow to radiators.

I made a custom one that mounts centered on the grill:





I've had the car over 155mph and no problem
