We are located almost on the corner of HWY 409 and Martin Grove in Etobicoke. We are right off the highway exit so it is much less than a minute to our door once you exit the 409. We'll be happy to work with you to sort something out.

Great, let's work together and find a solution for the Turbo. I'll reach out once I have the car.

Rho plate for me, locally made here in BC.


As for not running a plate, I’ve done so mostly since December when I got my 4.0 and then Instantly pulled over the moment I entered Richmond.

I used to not rock a plate with my other car, but the pain of being pulled over is more expensive for my time then any sort of monetary penalty.

The c8 corvette has hideaway front plate bracket. Porsche take note. It would be so easy for the factory to produce a bespoke bracket for the front of any sports car

Unfortunately true. Porsche isn't the most profitable car company in the world for nothing.

On the other hand, I'll likely have to pay $200 for something that is going to require me to drill some holes in an under surface of the bumper, or stick something on with double sided tape or disable a parking sensor.

Another vote for the Rho plate bracket - great quality and lots of mounting position options - clears the sensors very nicely on my 981GTS.

Edit: regarding the police thing... I didn't specifically get pulled (was running without a front plate for 10 days while waiting on delivery) - but I did have a cop pull alongside me while I was stopped. Gave me a friendly warning that it needs to be taken care of, he isn't going to ticket me but someone else might.
I get the overall impression with running no front plate is that they won't specifically pull you over for it (unless they're really bored) - but if you're being stopped for something else such as going a few km over, then they'll probably write a ticket, and likely lose you any goodwill in having the speeding ticket knocked down a bit.

I ended up getting the Carbonio. Runner up would have been the Rho-Plate.

The 718 has a fake grill in the front, and the carbonio glues onto this piece of black plastic. The carbinio has a couple of holes to allow you to use screws, which I might do after I find out whats behind the plastic
