Oddly, the 'Sto n Sho' solution seems to have disappeared from their website.

Just out of curiosity, these run for ~$100 but of course ebay has a bunch of much cheaper ones for like $30.
I never used a tow hook plate before so wonder what the quality differences are?

Also, I only use touch less car washes or done by hand, in that case do I need to worry about taking the tow hook off?

Substantial.

Lesser quality solutions tend to be generic, so both fitment and quality is substandard.

No-touch car washes should be fine.

My home made mounting job has the added benefit of being nearly undetectable to overhead cameras...

For the Aussies

There's a mob down here in the antipodes, Flow Design, google flowbrackets, they make brackets for many vehicles and plate sizes.

The plinth they want to put on at the dealer level is horrendous for any Aussie plate size.

Super late to the party, but I took the EOS to hook Mount off my M240 and installed it on my M2 when I took delivery. Perfect fit, no issues.

I've also been using an eos tow hook mount for about 4000 miles now, and no issues.

We should vote on our favourite feature of that post:

1- uncalled for attack
2- bad grammar
3- lack of reading comprehension
4- timeliness of response
5- what’d I miss
6. All of the above

Unless you yourself came up with this law, I have no idea how that possibly offended you. If not, congrats, you found a way to be the most sensitive guy on this forum.

I’ve re-read both posts and still have no idea how and why that upset him.

I figured it out! He thought you were shitting on the guy who posted, not the state government. I guess he thought you were pro-regulation.

If you read it that way, yeah, you are a total dick. I don't know WHY you'd read it that way, but shrug.

Have an M2 ordered with ACC - has anyone installed the Sto-n-Sho with ACC? Did you need to drill any additional holes for the mount being offset from center?

EDIT: nvm, in the video they show you can install the mount in pre-existing holes off-center, even with ACC.

Yes, there are four bolts under the front lip at about 7 5/8" oc. You can mount to either of the outboard pair. I think this will clear the radar.

I’m probably going with a tow hook mount because I have a front lip splitter on order and doesn’t look like the Sto N sho can work with a front lip.

Honestly guys I have to apologize bc to be honest I don’t even know WHY I wrote it. I’m just as dumbfounded as you.
So I apologize! No harm was meant!
