I live in NY which means I need a front license plate unfortunately. The dealership won't drill the front bumper so I wanted to see if anyone else had to deal with this and what my best option is to keep the car looking nice.
I briefly shopped for no drill options before I just decided to YOLO and run without one (live in Ohio - it's only ticketable as an additional offense. Can't be pulled over for it). Surprisingly, a lot of newer cars around here just don't have them and I've yet to have any issues
I have these on the 2015 BGTS and the Cayenne. Work great. There is a small screw that is used under the bumper but the majority of the hold is the tape. Easy to remove but the brackets do show a little.
I have a Craigs on my Shelby GT350 and the adhesive hasn't failed yet. I replaced the thumbwheel nut with a wing nut because the thumbwheel was almost impossible to remove once tightened.
I too would love to see how you mounted it. Was it put on your CS or the GT4?
Please see above post for pictures. Ironically, I was at the track this weekend and I forgot to remove the plate. It ended up being a good test however, as the plate stayed on at "track speeds" of ~120 MPH in 95 degree Houston heat!
Here is another possible option that mounts much lower on the car that I use on my 981 GTS they are located in Illinois call them to see if this will work on your 718.
FWIW, I live in a front license plate state too (Colorado) and I’ve gone sans front tag for 8 years on multiple vehicles, never once got a ticket, even when pulled over. If you did get a ticket, what’s the cost?
