I'm in the crowd that didn't even bother getting a front plate solution for my previous Cayman in Ohio. The whole time I owned it, front plate was mandatory but rarely enforced (in my case, I had exactly 0 tickets from it).
Now that as of July 1st this year Ohio will no longer require front license plates at all, I'm even less worried

Condolences to those that still have to get them. I've had luck with US Millworks products before, and would much rather have an off-center tow hook mount than any magnet or drilling.

Luckily, the Carbonio solution is neither. It requires no drilling (clips on and off the grill screen in 5 seconds) and it doesn't sit off center, which honestly looks goofy on a beautifully designed Porsche. And because it's easy on/off, you just leave it in the frunk in the event you get pulled over and have to play the 'oh did I forget to put the plate back on after washing the car...' card. The only question is whether the 981 mount is going to work on the 718.

Does anyone have an update on the USMILLWORKS for the GT4?

I ordered one. 718 (no parking sensors) lightened with quick release. Should be fine.

Looked at Carbonio for my GT3. Over in that forum there are posts about it chipping the grill for those that take it on/off from time to time. Could be user error.

After seeing your post, I ordered one. Let's see if it fits.

I'd suggest looking at the very 1st entry of "The Dreaded Front License Plate" thread found here: https://www.planet-9.com/threads/the...3/post-2089643. This is what I did and 2 years later there are no problems and no holes in my bumper either.
MOO

I have one of these as well, leftover from my '14 Cayman S. Never used it. Looks like it fits the 718.

Can someone confirm if the 718 tow hook threads are left tighten? I ordered the USMills but still waiting for the car. Want to confirm if the USMills fits.

Thanks,

Could someone please post a pic of back side of the plate mount? I would like to see what possible options there might be to build some sort of center mounted removable piece. This was very easy to do with the OEM mount for my 981 Cayman GTS
