What do you mean "at your age"? Police in some areas may use it as probable cause to pull people over who they suspect are carrying drugs. Most such people are younger and aren't driving Porsches.

None of the visible surfaces in front are made of metal. It's all plastic. Either painted plastic or just satin black plastic. Drilling into any of it is completely unnecessary if you are willing to purchase any of the aftermarket solutions available. See my earlier reply about the mount from Carbonio. It's a spring loaded clamp that goes on the bottom of the bumper.

 

Thanks for the info didn't realize it was all plastic. The Carbonio, adds a little to underside, and I spent 2.7 grand on the front axle lift because my driveway has a pitch, so that kinda defeats the purpose.

 

I'd argue that it doesn't defeat the purpose at all if you have FAL. If you are using FAL anyways, then even less chances of the plate bracket scraping.

 

Am I the only one having problems with the RHO plate relocator? Tried a million different ways but the sensor keeps going off every time I slow down or stop. Driving me batty. Any suggestions before I send this back

 

Your attachment point on the Rho backing plate may be wrong. It should be, (and can be) lowered). From your photos, your license plate is too near to the parking sensor. I am attaching a close up of the location of the triangular bracket which I used. This positioning provides ample clearance from the sensor.

 

I had issues parking sensor triggering issues on my Rho plate V2 that I installed a week ago too. Finally found a position that worked, which is the suggested placement illustrated in the instructions but with a tilt of the lower part of the plate outward which brings the upper part of the plate inward and closer to the sensor. Seems counterintuitive to bring it closer to the sensor but I think bringing it closer actually takes out of the sensor's field of view, and that has worked for me. And I didn't have to trim the top of the license plate at all. It's weird though because when it rains, it still triggers the parking sensors somehow. But when it's dry, no issues.

 

I’d rather uproot my entire life and move to a state that doesn’t require this… then to install that lol

 

So that's why the cars with the RHO plate all have crooked/tilted license plates. Can't deal with that look. The STO-N-SHO is looking better to me at this point.

 

You've installed it wrong
You need to flip the 3 bolt attachment and offset it to the left (as looking at the front of the car)

 

Mine is cos it got loose and i was too lazy to find the allen wrench or get a locking washer :-)

 

@dcr91754 ,

It should be possible to drill up from underneath the black "upper lip" (the section where your front camera is mounted).

The standard license plate bracket that came with your car mounts from underneath, but it also has holes to drill into the blue painted bumper on your car. However, you can opt not to drill into the painted part. This would not be visible to anyone, if you ever remove the bracket.

Take a look at my previous post to see how someone else did this…

That's not a bad approach - the only thing it needs to add is some kind of quick connect/disconnect fastener so that its easy to remove the mount (in other words without needing a screwdriver).

 

I agree. I live in and frequent another state, both states require front plates. I haven’t had front plates on all 5 of our vehicles over almost 30 years, without 1 issue - combined driving of 40K mi year.
Most of our friends are LEO’s, state, city, and county. They all said they’d never pull me over because they completely understand and wouldn’t want to ruin the front with a plate either.
Of course unless you’re doing some really dumb **** and then an ******* to them.

My front tow hook (for track) is in the way and sets off the sensor. I just go into settings and turn off the parking assist. But I have to turn it off every time I turn off the car and restart it. I’d like to permanently turn it off.
