(I know that's an oxymoron). Any suggestions? What is the price of a ticket in MA if I don't put one on? Does anyone have these options: -Altec Products Retractable Front Licence Plate w/ remote http://www.altecproducts.com/index.htm -Skene Design http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/Order.shtml Thanks!

Personally I don't run one. TX law says I should but I have only been stopped once and given a warning. I do have the tow hook mount now but I just keep it in the frunk. I will just say I forgot to but it back on the next time I get stopped. Hopefully that will work. There is a guy that sells them for around $35. I think his name is something like Strumberg. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...te-holder.html 02-03-2012, 05:01 PM #3   Registered User Garage is empty, add now   Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Vancouver, BC Posts: 2 Rep Power: 0 +1 on the tow hook mount Failure to display a front licence plate here is $176. After paying $352 in fines on my previous Cayman I spent $85 for one... Price for vanity but North American licences plate just don't look nice on P-cars.

I refused to have holes in my bumper. I drilled two tiny pilot holes underneath and into the black grill portion, use two small L brackets to secure the plate holder, and then put two strips of velcro on it to stop it from flapping. Looks fine and cost me zero.

That's a smart idea and a good way to have your plate centered without drilling holes in the bumper. __________________ WTB: X51 components, OEM Turbo or GT3 brakes 997.1 S blk/blk Last edited by GT3 Chuck; Yesterday at 04:00 PM.

Yesterday, 12:50 PM #14   Registered User Garage is empty, add now   Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Boston Posts: 36 Rep Power: 2 Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I don't like the off-center look. I like a symmetrical layout. The ground clearance is 4.5in, so the Altec will bottom out in the retracted position. There are pros and cons to each system, but I think I am going to order the extra short bracketed Skene Design as a quick back up, but I really like the completely non-invasive brilliant technique of Periokid. I don't know how I am going to work this out with the out of state dealer, but insist that for the time being, NOT to install/drill ANY front plate holes, brackets, etc. I'll need time to fabricate Periokid's set up. Bravo Periokid, where did you get those powerful magnets? Are they Neodymium? What did you use to affix the magnets to the plastic bumper? Did you contour the curve of the plate? Thanks!

I got the Gomingo, but it was sold by WSTO, think it was a bit cheaper, but very well made. The off center design is unique, I've even gotten compliments on it. __________________ RyeM3 2011 M3 Melbourne Red on Fox Red/Black - Competition Package and everything else '07 997S - Arctic Silver on Black - Full leather, adaptive sport seats, sport chrono, nav, Bose, Carrera Classic wheels, TechArt spoiler and rockers, SOLD...
