Thx for the follow tips Archimedes but no car yet. I agree I think it will fit if not with minor adjustment. I hear it should be on the Mediterranean Highway so expected mid June in drive way? I will follow up then with more,
I went ahead and ordered one anyway. I'm sure that I can make it fit. I own a hammer...
4MIDABLE - for US Millworks, they dont seem to have 718 GT4 listed. Are you getting the one for the normal 718 or the 981 GT4 to try to fit? I had US Works for a previous car as well and liked the workmanship.

I would like to go the same route, however the only option they have listed for the 718 is "without park sensors". Does the GT4 have front park sensors? What are the rest of you planning? Ideas welcome.
I am also looking for a no drill front plate holder for 718 GT4. USMILL is my first choice, but I haven't heard back from them to confirm the correct sizing.
To my knowledge, the treads are the same as 718s; the only different is the bolt length. The GT4 bumper "seems" to be a tad longer? So the bolt holding the bracket has to be longer?
I have had both US Millworks and Rennline... USM the post is tightened by hand without any leverage from tools, so it will loosen and rotate over time. The Rennline version the post is tighten using a wrench... with a more snug fit. USM has the advantage of quick release with pins for cleaning (of which one fell out of mine), but I prefer the better security of the RL version.

I sent them a mail to ask about that, but they haven't responded. A bit annoying actually so I might look for other options, I just really like their quick release product.

I had a USM on my car for over 2 years and had ZERO issues with it loosening over time. Even if it did loosen, it's not going to fall out and you would notice your plate being crooked right away. Hand tightening is just fine.

You are correct, it wouldnt fall out, but it would be crooked all the time. I guess if you mounted in the center of the plate it would be an issue, but on my application visually preferred mounted to one side of the plate. Any rate still personally prefer the Rennline one... and totally get if someone wants the USM.
Comparing the 718 and 718 GT4 bumper, they seems to have the same length. Pretty sure the body frame is the same. "I think" the usmillworks - 718 (no front parking) should work.
