Can someone please explain to me the benefit of that license plate bracket? Because I only see downsides. It's not like your bumper doesn't already have holes in it. And by lowering the license plate you end up channeling less air to the radiators in the front. It also looks a bit out of place IMO.
Yes, it does block the lower grill slightly. BUT, the Inventica bracket drops it below the bumper and angles the plate back.

IMHO - It's much more sleek than the center mounted bumper bracket. Slapping that plate high and center on the bumper just seems to disrupt the beautiful lines of the nose.

Some of us don't have holes in the replacement front bumper cover and would like to keep it that way.

Count me in too. Add me to the list. I have 3 tickets from parking at LAX W/O a front plate.

I would be interested in a groupbuy for this one.

My wife's Targa is a paint to sample Exclusive programme car and I didn't have an issue drilling 2 small holes underneath, it is much better IMHO than the stock front plate installation.

I'm in.

I keep my front plate mounted to a "broken" bracket on the floor in the back for when I get stopped. Eventually the same cop is going to stop me and ask why it is not "fixed" yet.

Ahh...the Statistical approach to the problem. I have a similar "story" just coming back from cross country trip and I had the bra on, and I had to remove the plate to put the bra on,

" I will put that plate back on as soon as I get home officer"

Not to distract from the group buy on the other set up but +1 for this one. The only problem is I can't seem to find the little cap that went to the tow hook hole now

I have a brand new one, never used for $30 shipping included. It's at my mother's house, so it may take me a week to get it shipped...

I'm in if this goes forward. Mine is held on with plastic twisty ties now...not a good look, but better than getting shaken down by the local cops.

That's what I do with my Inventiva bracket. I actually lost one of the mounting screws and haven't replaced it. I haven't had my first stop yet so it's not fixed yet.
