Thanks Dan. It doesn't make sense though. The Euro plates are less square and longer than the US plates, yet the bumper space is the opposite. As odd as it may sound, I prefer the US look (w/ CA plate). Cheers.

Thanks for explaining that to people.
You will also find the traditional yellow (pumpkins) on the front quarter panels on the US model.

I would agree it look **** with the US plate cutout. The Euro cutout makes the car look wider - yes I know it's just an optical illusion but yikes!

The Euro cut out makes the car look sad from the back. The NA version is more aesthetically pleasing IMHO.

Thank you for posting Dan.
I also prefer the Euro bumper, the US cutout is way too small and just looks lost on that big bumper.

Why have different ones for US vs. Euro? You could put an US plate on the Euro bumper. I will now have to wait for the 991.2 update.

Also notice guys that the reflectors on the U.S spec rear bumpers, are much larger, darker, and recessed. Ugly...

Behind the license plate. Same as the 997.2.
