Well no one has got back to me yet to confirm measurements for other models. :?

So I made up a set for mine out of alloy so you can see what you would get.

Well since no one who offered got back to me with measurements, Ive made some up for people who have come to my place. Ive found so far the GT, JDM spec B and GTB front all different in terms of bracket and spacings.
Dont know about the 3.0 pre facelift.

If you can PM me a pic of your number plate area on your bar WITH no number plate fitted to confirm , I'll make you one as its different to the alloy ones Ive made in this thread.

Mark, apologies once again :(

From centre of hole to little lip above is 28mm
For the plate to sit where I want it to the new bolt holes need to be at that same height.. Possible?

No worries. ;)

Only 28mm rise for your plate mounts? Ive measured your style bar already and 35mm rise is where its at for optimum win. :D

May be interested in these, but need to check how things will look with a slimline plate on the front. On the 3.0R the plate doesn't seem to have as much free space behind it.

The space behind the plate is the result of the spacer.

Well I was playing around & I liked the look of it sitting just above the top lip of the gap in the front bar. Behind my number plate looks very dodgy & scratched for some reason so it looks neat while still coveringthe shittiness that is my front bumper
