Tow Hook Front Plate Assembly?

I recently got a fix-it ticket for my front plate and I wanted to know which front plate tow hook bracket assembly you may have used in the past...or if you know of another temporary solution - so long as I get the signature on the ticket.

Keep in mind that I do not have the OEM front plate bracket assembly that the car should have come with...hence my search

All your help is much appreciated.

I use Rho plate.

but it's a bit on the expensive side if you're just looking for a temporary solution. I think there's some even cheaper ebay ones. However, I keep it on all the time. I would just borrow someone's tow hook mount if all you need is a 30 minute solution for a fix-it ticket signature.

Last time I got the front plate ticket, it's my understanding that your subsequent tickets get more expensive, unless I'm mistaken...

btw, if you search the main forum, I recall seeing other temporary solutions for people who were getting plate tickets while parked. They're definitely not a secure solution, but it might also pass the test when all you need is a signature. Hell, you can even just use Velcro, if you just need it to stick on for 10 minutes while the LEO signs your ticket.

Here's a few more links for you:

I run a U.S. Millworks tow hook adapter and am very happy with it. Might be overkill for a onetime temporary fix-it solution though ...

we use the US Millworks on our cars as well. Very well built. Get the quick release so you can take it off for washing.
