I have this on my 09 Lexus IS250.. There a few things that you should know: The screws that keep the plate in place will rust out after a year, so go buy stainless steel ones.
The screw that connects the plate to the tow hook has stripped on mine and I've been having a hell of a time getting it out. I suggest also replacing this screw with something that is SS and not an allen key and also putting some anti seize compound on all the screws.
Overall I do like this kit (didn't get from MD), I just wish some more time and effort were put into better screws to save from some some headaches down the road.

OPTiKMust be a bad batch because I've had mine on for over a year in rainy/windy/100F+ heat in direct sunlight and there's no sign of rust anywhere. Using only a quarter and the small pliers in my trunk, I can still take it off/put it on within minutes.

JayKayWhat about snow, salt, and sub zero temperatures? I live in Upstate NY, not Southern Cali where cars don't rust lol.

OPTiKHey @Angel
The M5 in the picture is actually my car in Toronto. I have Rho-Plate on my car for 4 years now, no rusting problem with Canadian winter.
