I would have personally left the bracket flat and welded it to the side of the tow hook. That way you could weld all the way around the outside of the hook and on the inside. That would have also reinforced the hook
These are a really good idea though. I can't even imagine scraping a freshly painted bumper

Bumping an old thread. With sakatj's skid plate PDF, I found a local guy in my area who would fabricate the skid plates for me at 48 bucks a piece, but he needed the actual CAD file in order to make them. So I had my brother convert the PDF to DWG file and I'll be passing this onto the fabricator. For anyone who needs the DWG file then I've attached it with this response. Also, I attached the CAD drawing for the delrin piece. FYI, I had to rename the files to a text format. Just remove the .txt from the end and you should be good.

This thread is so old I can't remember if I posted this, but in any case take this as a re-cap of the skid plate I built for my wifes IS300 9 YEARS AGO.
