991.2 GTS Front Plate Mount?
#16
So what’s the best way to adhere the magnets? Epoxy? Then suppose some sort of felt for the magnets on the mount to protect the paint when it’s being used?

You could glue a little plastic disc ( or felt) on to the contact side if you like.

This is what I am getting for my TTS. Bracket moves down so the plate doesn't block the sensor and not in the middle to block the ACC bulb.

I just installed the front plate magnet setup yesterday eve. For adhering the magnets to the inside of the bumper cover, I used 3M VHB tape. For the license mounting plate, I plan to use JB Weld.

I did Skene design...and will mount it probably this weekend...as for some reason they now do front plate checks when I go thru the gate at work now (randomly) and have mentioned on more than one ocassion that my state requires two plates...respectfully of course due to my rank/position! LOL Can't get away with "just got the car out of storage/delivery and waiting for a new front plate bracket" forever. Will hate it as I've run without one for almost 8+ yrs on my Carreras and Caymans but I do need to get thru the gates to my office/to work so...when in Rome.

That reminds me... I have a new unused Skene Design plate mount that I want to sell. PM me if interested.

I used JB Weld Quick Set. Make sure you scuff sand the areas there the magnet will attach (and the magnets too) with 150 grit, and then clean the area with IPA.

3M double sided automotive trim tape.
Mount any any height or location you want.
Curves plate to match bumper
Will stay on 5 years (and counting) yet removes easily if desired
Same method euro delivery uses to mount your temp front plate.
Does not require drilling or removing anything.

Concensus is that doubled sided tape is the most effective, most economical, most athletically pleasing, and least intrusive method. It's what Porsche used on the front bumper of my Turbo S during European delivery in May when I picked up the car in Stuttgart...so I guess it's even good enough for Porsche engineers. If you want the plate centered, this seems to be the best option. If you don't mind it canted off to the side, there are tow hook options. I personally am going with the double sided automotive tape. It'll be going over PPF so no chance of any damage to the paint.

For sure double side automotive tape should be OK.
My only concern is that neither double side tape or Porsche OEM plastic base will distract the perfect curve of the front bumber.
That is why I am considering to use double side tape and one extension which will be sticked to the lower black plastic area of front bumber and screw the plate on the extension.
I have to wait my car to arrive measure the height of the black plastic area and make a custom base to install the front plate.
