Same goes for “weight loss” on a street car. Especially when you get to 3.7 oz!

Spoken like a guy with too many GT street cars. I pulled the sun visors off my 964 to save 1.75 lbs. Everything gets weighed, right down to the 1.75 oz. from the air box cover cut-out. To each, his zone.

If you wanted to save even more weight you can remove that heavy steel plate bracket and use the rectangular black plastic 996 mount. It also uses smaller screws so you might save some weight there as well . . .

Of course you could ditch a frame altogether and save 3.7oz.

The 993/964 steel plate brackets make no sense to me. I have plastic nuts inside the bumper. I just wish the PO used the rubber washers that the OP recommends.

Massachusetts plate, same issue. All US plates are supposed to be 6"x12", but the plates aren't very precise and tend to be a fraction larger. Beautiful bracket, but it would be helpful to have just a bit more tolerance to fit the plate.

Mine arrived a couple days ago and it looks great. I also had the issue with the plate being too large, supplier might want to take note and make the opening slightly larger.
I bought some aluminum screw covers also from amazon, perfect match but a bit too bulky. I need to find some black bolts.

Agree with appearance and size comment, and shipping was commendably quick. My Florida plate was line-to-line lengthwise in the frame and a millimeter or so too big vertically. Belt sander fixed the issue but that might allow our corrosive atmosphere to start eating the plate.
