Default No drill front plate mount that does not interfere with parking sensors

Hello Rennlisters,

We have a lot of interest in a no drill front plate mount that does not interfere with front parking sensors, we're testing our solution now. The state may mandate that you have a license plate on the front of your brand new car, but they can't make you drill permanent holes to mount it there. We wouldn't want to do that to our 991, so we came up with this mount that attached to some holes that are already underneath the car.

A similar product we make here:
http://www.cravenspeed.com/products/FIAT-Platypus-License-Plate-Mount.html

We currently offer this for Fiats, Darts, and Miatas, and are working on something that will sit perfect and look clean on the front of your 991.

As always, I will have a coupon code for Rennlist members when we're ready for product launch. Feel free to post here or PM me with any questions.

Nice. I have one of your tow hook mounts that I used on my M3 and it was decent. Definitely interested to see what you come up with that won't get in the way of the parking sensors for the 991.

I love the idea of not having to drill. But, the only thing I hate more than drilling is an off-center plate. Is you mount center or off-center for the 991?

Will there be scraping issues for those of us with SPASM? Just curious how much lower this will hang when approaching downwards on an angle.

Just wanted to update everyone interested.

We've got two options coming, one VERY soon (About 10 days out).

This option will be for Porsche, as well as Mercedes, BMW, and some others. It still uses the tow hook mounting design, but rather than a centered mounting bolt, it is staggered. Getting the plate out of the way of your parking sensor. Though, perhaps in the way of your lower light. It will get your state legal, and won't hinder night driving.

We're still developing our Plate mount which mounts under the car like our FIAT mount here.

Anyone interested in trying our design shoot me a PM, I'll give you half off for being a beta tester, so long as you send me a few photos of it installed on your 911.

Thanks

You may scrape a bit depending on the angle, etc...

Our Tesla model here

https://www.cravenspeed.com/tesla-pl...e-plate-mount/

Mounts the same way. I've been selling them for over a year and although a few have been lightly scraped when entering/exiting a steep drive, I've never had to replace one (But would be happy to) and have never had one scrape bad enough to remove the powder coat or be torn off.

I've got these offset plate mounts in stock, that will not interfere with your parking sensors.

I don't have any good Porsche photos just yet, but an example on a bimmer.



As you can see, it misses the parking sensor with plenty of room to spare on the BMW.
(As it will on your Porsche)

Hi Adam,
I'm in need of front license plate holder for a '13 Porsche Panamera GTS. Does yours fit and not block the parking sensor?

Thanks, Steve

Partially blocking an air intake. Frustrating perhaps. Appreciate the picture, however, sir.
