The swivel bracket holding the Carbonio needs to be exactly perpendicular to the grille slats. It's hard to see, thus easy to not twist to right angle. Like I posted above, mine survived the car wash twice.

Bumper is the same on all models of the Macan III so yes.

Slybrackets from https://www.slybrackets.com worked fine on my 22 Macan S, admit it's off center but works fine and no drilling.

Why did it have to be mounted off center? Can you share a picture? Thanks.

Why does the Slybrackets only cost $15 and Carbonio cost $149??

Looks like the Slybrackets $15 that you quote is just an adapter in addition to their actual mount.

Installed the newly released StoNSho Macan III mount today. Super happy with it. So glad I toughed it out w/ my cheap Amazon tow hook mount until StoNSho released this. Easy install, No drill. Just bolts to two existing screws. I re-used the factory screws they seem to have plenty of length, and a broader head which is probably better. They supply two longer screws w/ the kit but they have small heads. Pics below. Best solution I have seen for the Macan III in my opinion. And easily removed to wash the vehicle. Couldn't be happier w/ this solution!!

Install was very simple-just take your time measuring everything.




Looks great! Did you use the same holes that the OEM bracket was using? Or did you have to drill your own?
