2014 Acura TL SH-AWD tow hook license plate adapter

Anyone know where i can get a tow hook license plate adapter that is meant for my car? All the ones that i see online, the bolt that goes into the tow hook mount are all too small.

Had it for my S2000 and Mazda3 with great success. Not sure what issues you had but I have nothing but good things to say about their product and I actually owned it.

Did you even have one?

Seriously? Never had an issue with mine. Have you considered swapping out the washer? They also came out with a V2 version that looks like it'll prevent the twisting.

Rho-plate V2 license plate bracket

I never had an issue except the one time a car wash ripped up on it

Yea I was pretty pissed after a month I had to keep tighten it.
Damn the V2 looks like a much better design...

Thanks for the tip, I will try with a different washer, I might have to get a new bolt too, the allen key is getting wrecked by me from keep tighening all the time.

Yeah, I swapped out my washer after mine was completely cupped/rounded off. Replacing that guys worked pretty well.

Admittedly, I never used any of the 'extremes' mine were usually one of the middle three slots so it was balanced on either side. I've got an inkling if you had it on the far left or right the weight would slowly pull it downwards.

Naw after I used the rho-plate I pretty much used it in the dead centre, I got a plate cover on it and I dont see how that will affected.

But End story for OP buy the Rho-Plate V2

Rho-plate for Acura

It says just up to 2011, but I can't imagine the bumpers are that different. You could email to verify.
