Decided that I'm not installing the standard front license plate bracket but my state requires front plates.
I don't want to debate this...so focus.

After exhaustive research....I've narrowed the search results to:

1) CravenSpeed - Macan GTS model
PORSCHE PLATYPUS PRO-SERIES LICENSE PLATE MOUNT
https://www.cravenspeed.com/porsche-...e-plate-mount/
The CravenSpeed is offset and uses the front tow hook location. It functions with the parking sensors as this is specifically made for the GTS w/ sensors. Only downside i've read somewhere that one led fog light MAY be partially obstructed. I don't see a big issue but certainly curious to see how much.

2) Mustang - universal
http://ccmustangbrackets.com/product...plate-bracket/
The mustang works via lightweight bracket and the strongest 3m glue made or bolt for the bracket, hidden inside.

Price = $80 USD for Craven vs. $53 USD (shipping not included), so that's not a biggie either way.

Conclusion:
I'm leaning on the CravenSpeed regardless of the potential drawback w/ partial fog obtrusion.

Anyone here already worked through this and can make a recommendation or found recommend a better one?

PLEASE NOTE: I don't need comments that state to recommend driving without a front plate and just pay the fine similar to the other crowd that states... just install the regular way and be done with it. Sorry, not gonna do it

I used two (big, long) zip ties to secure the plastic plate holder to the grill.

Interested in other options. Maybe.

Personally, I would go with the Mustang version because I really dislike plates mounted off-center. It really hurts the design of the car, much more than any bolted-on OEM plate, IMO.

I don't fully understand the Mustang version, however. Can it be easily attached and dismounted?

I tried to contact the Mustang version guy a few days ago but haven't gotten any response. Does anyone know if the assembly (and adhesive pad) is strong enough to hold a license plate with a full plastic cover? It adds quite a bit of weight.

My zip-tie plate holder is working great and totally stealth

I have a US millworks one that attached to the tow hook mount. Worked great with parking sensors.

Since I no longer have my macan I no longer need it. Pm me...

Thanks my friend....pm sent.

The Cravenspeed requires an offset bracket for the GTS and does not interfere with the lights or parking sensors.

VERY NICE RUBY RED!!!
I like it.

Thanks for the great pics.

Hi Brad.

Take it for what it's worth, but they advertise that it can hold up to 10 pounds of weight.
So adding a plastic plate cover should do nothing over a plate by itself.

UPDATE

I decided to go with the RENNLINE version.

I'll report back when it arrives and i test out - sample pics below...

Thanks all.

Rennline version...

Update:
The 'RENNLINE' version works really well and is very well built.
Very solid. I will post some pics over the next few days.

I have the Rennline on my Turbo. There is only one position that works without messing up the parking sensors.

I am 30 yrs past mounting a plate to the side and not centered so I vote the second one.
