Another front license plate idea.

I have had my Porsche for 6 months and although I purchased a front tow hook plate (from cravenspeed) I have never installed it and have been riding around without any issue (ticket). Why didn't you try a front tow hook plate?

I did mock one up and looked at a number of photos of them. And I like the idea that there's no drilling or mods to the car.
(although my 718 current mount only requires one, tiny drilled hole in the center, black-plastic "grill")
But in the end, no offense, I don't really like the look of the tow-hook mount.
It's not that I think my solution in all that great......but I like it better than the tow-hook mount.
I agree that having no plate looks best on these car (although the skinny, 4" tall Euro tags look decent in the "well" of the center, front "grill" area).
As I mentioned in the link above, I built a tow-hook mount for my previous car (NB Miata) and liked the look on that car. But on the 718, not so much.

Non taken......I have no stock in cravenspeed or any of their products
As I stated the tow hook plate I have is still in the box......if a get a ticket or two I will use it. It's all personal preference....as with nineball placing a drill hole in the Porsche, for me at least, would be unacceptable.....
I fully understand your point. I have to say it sort of killed me to drill that hole. (even though it was only one hole about 0.150")
There is some talk here in NJ of deleting the front license plate requirement. They're already dropped the requirement for cars registered as "antiques" (like my MGB and Lotus 7).
If they do drop front plates, I'll be right out there ripping the tag off my Cayman and looking for a teeny, tiny 0.150" plastic plug.
I guess we could say these are First World problems.
Have to agree to this!
But aren't our preferences funny/different? Some will do:
Plastic wrap.
Paint protection.
Air intake screens.
Painted/coated wheels.
ECU re-mapping.
Window stickers.
Martini decals.
Plexiglass wind diffusers.
Mirror wind deflectors.
etc., etc.
and some won't drill 2 tiny holes so they can drive legally.>
