Default 2015 Z06 Tow Hook License Plate Mount

Does anyone know if there is a Tow Hook License Plate Mount for a 2105 Z06 Yet?

I've searched and can not find one anywhere.

Thanks

I'm working with Rho Plate to create one - they've sent me test fit templates and are in the process of machining the first prototypes. I'll let you know when I have more details.

I bought the removable bracket.....pull a spring loaded pin and you can pull the plate and mounting bracket off....easy enough to reattach....

Curious if the prototype is working out ?

Thanks

It's working great! Posted a few pictures in this thread:

I like how flexible the system is and it's easy to take on and off. Nice touches like the reduced neck size to avoid rubbing the grill are a plus.

Took a look, looks great. I'd be curious now that the 2016 will have Front Park Cameras, placement might block the camera. Looks like the plate bracket can be moved around a little bit.

Will they make a longer version of the bolt so one could leave the plate on and just screw it in ?

Nice job, I'll have to contact them !

The mounting is very flexible - you can move the plate bracket around quite a bit. I'm sure there's a configuration that would clear the cameras.

I'm not sure if lengthening the mount would help all that much, given the geometry of the bumper and the location of the tow hook receiver. You'd have to have pretty long mount to avoid hitting the bumper, splitter, etc.
