Front License Plate Holder
I think I have to finally get a front license plate holder, still can't decide, Tow hook, or Skene design (under bumper install).
What do you guys think:
Skene Design
Tow Hook

All else being equal, the under bumper design looks best to me. If this is going to be an on/off installation then ease of repeat removal/install is a factor. If it's more or less permanent then no big deal. From your avatar it appears your car is a 997.1 so partially blocking the center air duct is not an issue as it would be with my car.

PS. You can get the Skene design mounted with double-tape and it supposed to hold well, but I don't trust that so rather mount it.

i had an identical copy made with a hi-res scan. so far, so good, knock wood, fingers crossed, etc. i don't really like the look but i like it better than the alternatives.

Very creative solution! Have you been stopped yet? Or does it just look good enough that no one (meaning law enforcement) has noticed yet?

it's revenue generating for them and they are doing whatever they can to get more!

I just installed the JCS this weekend after getting a ticket in downtown SF. It was simple to install, took about 10 minutes, and looks fine. I may get the fix it ticket signed off and just remove it the next time I was the car. Who know.... I love the clean look and am willing to pay a "Beauty Tax" as my wife calls it.

dont know about you guys but i simply made a frame that had a larger backing that i can stick on the bumper. the plate has 2 bolts connected to it that fits exactly where the holes of the original plate holder are. my plates are right where they are suppose to be but no holes. i used high quality 3m tape and for the past 2 months, driving on highways, up to 220kph, and the rain no problem. i did put a safety line just in case it falls off. the line is connected to the body. if the plates do fall which i dont think it will, they will hang and make some noise on the bumper. it wont fall of and get lost.. seriously i would think this is a simple idea. looks original but no holes no problem if i wanted to remove it i would do something similar to the rear insignia, i would use dental floss to cut the tape..simple
