Not sure how I'll proceed... Risk it or drill it.
I think I will go with the RHO plate. I can put it on if I am going to high traffic area and I can take it off when I am feeling a bit brave haha.

i looked closely at the under splitter mount...doubt it will work with our inflatable system. also reduces clearance.

Perhaps I relented too quickly. The Porsche slim plate does make everything less unappealing IMHO.

Best solution may be RHO plate which is a tow hook solution.. If you have ACC.. Thed n it sits a bit at a funny angle or you could echo cover one of the sensors.
If I was in TO, it wouldn't even be a consideration, like you I'd drill it also, but I live in small town Ottawa Valley and have only had one incident (ticket) since 2005. However the older I get the more anxious I am.
Tow hook solution is a non starter for me, The offset look, no matter how level you get the plate, offends my critical eye and sense of balance. OCD much! LOL

It's a great product. Had one for my GT3T.
I have already reached out to Rob, the owner of Carbonio and unfortunately while they have a solution for the 992 Carrera lines, they don't have one for the Turbo/TurboS as of yet. It would be challenging with our front retractable spoilers.

If Carbonio comes up with something...amazing. I think the best solution to bring the plate low enough to sit just above the ACC and in line with the front slope. I dont think there will be an under the splitter option.

And yes...my OCD did too steer me away from the off centre tow hook placement.

PB - your car looks great, some sweet photo's. and I am really impressed with the stock sound with PSE. A big improvement over the 991 range.
