Does a tow hook license plate block the parking sensor?

Doesn't this one look cleaner though? https://carbonio.com/products/porsch...se-plate-mount
Is that mounted with screws above the center grill area or is an adhesive used ?
Do you have this, and if so, would you please share a photo?

I don't have one myself but my dad does. He doesn't have ACC so he has the version that just mounts with a spring bracket under chin spoiler. I believe the ACC version uses adhesive.

Rho front license plate adapter parts
Here are a few photos of the Rho license plate adapter components. The triangular piece which attaches the standard extension part to the license plate holder has to be placed as shown to allow the assembly to clear all sensors.

Should be noted that the tow hook cover is attached with a weak and easy to remove connection. Left hanging loose, It would not remain on the car long - at speed.

I have the Rho, made near me locally.
i would like to note that all the parts can be adjusted however you like, the plate itself is on some ball like joint. The plate can be left, right, up, down, titled however.

Does a tow hook license plate mount block the parking sensor on a standard bumper?
The parking sensor seems to be positioned almost below the tow hook in photographs. (I haven’t taken delivery of my car yet, so can’t verify for myself).
I was considering this one from Suncoast:

I wonder if this will work?…
1. Tow hook license plate bracket. This is for VW and Audi, but I assume it will fit a Porsche.
2. Tow hook extender. The license plate bracket above has multiple attachment points allowing you to attach the extender horizontally, almost at the corner/edge of the plate, thus clearing the parking sensor.
Both parts total $38– much cheaper than the other options suggested.

Here is the tow hook license plate bracket. (You can see on the right side of this image, there are three attachment points. Turning the bracket upside down will move an attachment point to the left top corner, which is what is needed for our cars).

Here is the tow hook extender. (This can be mounted horizontally to help the license plate bracket to clear the parking sensor).

Might not look like it, but been two weeks of dailying and had zero false alarms with the sensor and it works perfectly.

@mikey94025 , thanks for the link to the very long and informative thread.
In addition to considering a tow-hook mount, I have been contemplating using the factory mount by drilling and screwing it in from underneath.
From the thread you linked above, I was able to track down a post by @rdv who did just that.
Here Is that post, in case anyone is interested:

992 base - CA Front License
So the dealer kinda sidestepped the whole front plate, as most people do not like the look. For a daily drive - mostly streets I feel like a front plate is needed as I do not want to get stopped for a fix it at my age. The factory plate, I have seen can be drilled in - but my question is can it just be drilled in on the plastic portions and not the metal - has anyone done this. I have seen the tow hook option, and the sun coast option is ok, as its connection is shorter than the arm version.
Drill the black portion only?
