So you would just drive around with the service receipt from your dealer stating that you can NOT run a front license plate...

Bizarre, even for the P!g Pen.
Which is why I think the dealer is just blowing off the OP with that explanation because he doesn't know the real cause of the problem.....

I don't think so. The dealer knew right away it was an 08. He told me its a known problem with 08's.
The parking sensors have not acted up since the weekend. Lets see how it goes...

cool idea. where did you get the decal made? Not sure I have room for that however as the grill covers where you put yours. I'm concerned about airflow in hot Florida weather. Don't need any front plate here but it's a nice memento from our European delivery/trip. They put the plate on for me at the Porsche customer center in Leipzig where I picked up the car. It's held on by tie wraps. Doesn't interfere with ACC or anything else that I can tell. I haven't seen temperature go out of normal but figure there is a reason the turbo grill is bigger and this seems to negate that.
