Yes this is one of the many things in life that happens to nobody but me. Where the hell is my front license plate. You had ONE JOB USFAILWERKS license plate bracket. Who knows where my lost license plate is and what crimes I'm being framed for as we speak
Are you sure the bracket is to blame?
As your GT4 was detaching the appendage it said; Front license plate? We don't need no stinkin' front license plate!

Thanks so much for sharing--learn something everyday! (And not far from me, either.)

I expect the cost is considerably less than the ~$575 Porsche got with my build.

My pleasure, if you stop by you'll likely see my 993, getting the Big Reds re-cleared and some other goodies.

And yes - def cheaper than going to Porsche directly

I took the opportunity on a rainy labor day weekend to remove the PORSCHE from the rear of the car. Those that know know, and those that don't can ask if they are interested.

I also took my brake pad wear sensors out and replaced with some pigtails that I fashioned from about $40 worth of parts. I guess I could have cut up the originals, but I'll leave them in my box of "GT4 stuff".

I try to tell my recalcitrant teenager of a car that we need it to avoid attention from the fuzz.

With the help from a buddy, we hard-wired in my valentine one. Was an easy tap into the power supply (and ground) from the overhead lighting. Just a few plastic pieces needed to be popped out to access everything. Its nice being out of the way and powered accurately based on if the car is on or not.

Very easy - there are 2 screws holding each one at the base (may be hex, can't remember). If you don't have the lighting package there are no electornic connectors to pull as the mirror isn't illuminated.

Is there a How-To thread on this somewhere?

Not really, but this one is pretty good. The issue seems to be to find a switched power source. This seems to solve the problem and it's an easy DIY.
