Default Front license plate

I moved to a state which requires front license plate to be displayed. As with most of y'all, I don't have the heart to drill into the beautiful front grill of my 991.1 GTS. In looking for alternatives, I came across this: https://www.cravenspeed.com/porsche-...e-plate-mount/

wanted to get your thoughts? Better alternatives?

US Mill Works makes a very nice product if it is acceptable to you to run off center from the tow hook. They design it so that it is extremely quick to remove as well once you have it set up.

Lots of options, just use Reenlist search.

Just leave it off unless you get stopped. If you get a fix it, throw the millworks on, get it signed off, take back off. It's a pain but worth not having a stupid front plate.

ateasf in Denver they love gifting out tickets for lack of front plates -- even when parked... so, can't avoid it

Look at skene design front plate. No holes in colored bumper but under in the grill area. Parking sensors should still work.

Rho-plate with narrow extender if you have front parking sensors.

I have the front license plate holder from Skene Design with the long bracket. I had originally ordered it with the short bracket as suggested by their website for my TTS but it was just too short. They promptly sent me the long one and that worked out great.

Just wondering why the tow hook spot is not in the center of the bumper. Was it assumed a license plate would always be in place and tow hook was moved off center?

I saw someone transfer plate to a magnet and stuck it to the bumper that way with some magnets behind bumper cover. Pretty cool!
