Saw a neat solution to this problem on a 996 GT3; Plastic laminated color photocopy of license plate velcroed onto front bumper...you would never know the difference. Driver said it was track tested up to 140mph. He made multiple copies just in case.

Wish I knew about this solution before drilling holes in my front bumper.

Unfortunately, all the 997 GT3's and RS's that I have seen have arrived with pre-drilled front bumpers.....

Careful! You could be charged for a far more grave crime...counterfeiting state licence tags!

Nice ride! Try these guys...they have a mount which screws into where the tow hook goes. Just pop the hook cover, then screw it in. Then remove when done.

There is a website called Mower Axle that has a front license plate mounting bracket that threads into the hole for the tow hook.

I don't have enough posts to allow me to post the link.

Who are you buying the Euro Kit from?
The cage/halon/belts..etc..

What was the price for these items?


Thanks!

What I heard from my dealer is that the euro roll cage doesn’t meet ANY of the US sanctioning body requirements – PCA/POC/Grand Am or ALMS.

i am pretty certain your dealer is wrong.
they are speaking of the tequipment bar. the RS bar is much like safety devices or other commonly accepted bars for PCA POC
