Any elegant solutions for the two holes that are in my bumper cover. I'm in Oklahoma, no front plate required. I bought Datura's TT out of Texas 45 days ago. It had the big ugly plate holder, as Texas requires a front plate. Front plate is gone, along with the bracket, but I have two less than wonderful holes now-sigh.

I got stopped on the on ramp to 405 at the 167 interchange heading north. The officer told me that he stopped me so he could check to see if the car was stolen.....he said that car thieves will change the license plates on high end cars that were just stolen to drive them to chop shops or to be shipped overseas....they usually have only one fake plate to put on the car, and they put it on the rear. He didn't give me a ticket, just asked me to get one on the car soon.

In Va. it's illegal as well. I use a license plate holder that mounts to the tow access port in the bumper. It was $90, polished aluminum and comes off pretty easy when needed.

Eric is a great guy and he runs a great company.

I've used his products on all the Porsches I've owned. Here's his rear wiper delete plug...

Is there a link to rear wiper removal? I don't think I need it, and then I could do more business w/Eric!

I don't know of a link.

Remove the wiper arm (one bolt). Remove the back cover inside the car, unplug the electrical connector, and unbolt the wiper motor. It's way easy.

Be sure to put a small bead of silicon around the inside of the plug before installing it.
