One issue you'll want to address is that the receiver portion of the bracket assembly, that mounts to the car, gets serious abuse. If not resolved the bracket is ground away.
My solution was to fashion a Skid Plate for the bracket. See below:

this is awesome. What’s the material it’s made of?

Nope, no drilling what so ever, this had 4 nuts that went onto the existing holes in the red bumper! nuts and bolts, no need to uninstall the bumper (again I have small hands that helped)



yes, if the lic plate is installed then yes the scrape point is lower, if there plate is not installed, and only the bracket is installed, then no difference. the front lip is still the lowest point.
If I had to put a front plate on, this would be the way I'd do it.

You drilled two holes in the skid plate but what do they attach to? Does the bracket from the vendor have two available holes to attach to, and the heads of the bolts don't interfere when you have to slide the bracket with the license plate into the receiver? Is your skid plate made of rubber?

2 year/20k Service at Porsche Beverly Hills - 1250 with the PCA discount.
they also did a Bose update for the Amp, that's out there. Sound improved I Was having some rattling in the back rear speaker, that's gone.
at the 1 year they replaced a front driver side speaker..

Macan T Loaner was nice ( not fast ) but incredibly solid, great seats. Liked it a lot.

Maybe get the electric one when my wife's Q4 lease is up..

I was missing the gas pedal all the time on this car, vs my F87 M2 or A91 Supra. Drove the 992 for 50 miles yesterday, wearing my Puma driving shoes (size 9), and didn’t miss the gas pedal once. It felt very intuitive to heel toe. Level didn’t change much from before. But, I wasn’t expecting that to change.

And didn’t feel too close together, at least not for me. Your mileage may vary, depending on your feet size and shoes.

if it for me, no drilling, yes they have two long hollow pipes with a spring lock to take the two long pipes from the license plate part
