Default front license in front grill?

I could not find this on a search.

will a front license plate fit in the center air intake area?, if so, will this block air flow to the radiators? (assuming I can find a way to attach it here)

I do not, understandably, want to have holes cut in my front bumper

thanks

No it does not. You could bend the top and bottom of the plate to make it fit.

Sorry to go off topic, but RAFFI your car looks really good. What bodykit is that? Is it just the bumper and rear wing you changed? Thanks.

On topic: These are such high performing cars that put off a lot of heat, I would hate to disturb any airflow to the radiators...

I managed to put mine in,--I'm still working on a design that others might consider (to avoid drilling into paint). It features a mount (my design) with a hinge that keeps the plate flat from the front but will rotate upward on the hinges if you put on the binders,--will also assist in breaking lock on a laser cop!

thanks, its a speedart bumper and techart rear wing.
actually the regular 6 speed 997's dont have any radiator in the middle inlet.
only the tips and x51's would suffer from putting the plate there...

Oh right! Forgot about that. I should have prefaced my statement with "If you have a tip or X51..."

Great combo of bumper and wing...

Here's a solution. Holes are apparently drilled UP (vertically) to attach bracket. Good idea since when removed: no holes.

That's what I did with mine. But, while the bumper was off, I installed 4 SS bolts which I could later attach to.
