Default Need a front plate, but do not want to drill, I just installed the Solution!!!!!!!

I bought this based on a google search, it greatly exceeded my expectation, very high quality materials. Easy as can be install and you can put your front plate on and off in minutes.

It mounts where the front tow hook installs, it takes 2 seconds to pop the cap off to get to it.

highly recommend, can be found at moweraxle.com

I just bought the US Millworks version, full plate size and highly adjustable to the bumper position. Lets see how it looks when I get it.

I have the same, it works extremely well and blends in on darker colors (anodized black).

I may not need it anymore, it looks like Kansas doesn't require front plates.

You'll still need 'bumper plugs' for those four (4) indentations or holes where the factory bracket was mounted.

why bother with that off center tow hook mount when you allready had four holes in your bumber?

Personally I think you'd be better of with the original Porsche mount plate MM, rather than four plug holes and offset plate.

Not sure if you have to drill larger hoes to accept the bumper plugs. To me its gonna look ugly. Sorry pal I'd send it back !

^ Agree. Damage is done. May as well use the holes.
Now, if you were to repair holes or replace bumber then yes, offste plate it is.
But, I've had two 911 over two years with no front plate in a state that requires it.
Good luck so far. I have a veteran plate on the back so hopefully, it gets me some cred.

I saw a GT3 RS in Vancouver over the holidays that had his front plate printed on his 3M bumper wrap - it looked amazing!! Don't know what a cop might think - but I loved it!!

+1... have yet to use it after two years. Knock on wood. I feel fortunate that the PO did not drill into the front bumper.

I have seen many people keeping the front plate in the car and when they drive just place it under the windshield. It is not a sexy solution but it seems to work.
