Just in and ready to be prepped. Will see if the Sport PASM and the streets of NYC will play nice. Realized the center of the front bumper is different from others, there is actually a radiator there so will need to re-think license plate location. Can anyone recommend a motorized plate?

Thanks for feedback, and to those that sent pm's, I'm new here so can't directly respond yet.

 

Very nice .. one of my favorite 911 models

 

Nice!!!

In case you didn't already know, center radiator is part of the X51 Carrera S Powerkit that comes standard on the 50th.

 

Try to find a license plate mount that attaches to the tow-hook mounting location. Saves you from having to drill a couple of holes into your bumper, too.

 

Who puts license plate mounts on the front of a Porsche. In CA it is required but I have never defaced my car with an ugly front plate. I will pay the fine.

 

+1. I've seen maybe 1 or 2 911's in SoCal with the front plates even though they're required.

 

In WA State, owners like yourself become quick learners.

 

I don't usually put them on.. The only place I have ever had a problem in ca is when long term parking at the airport (LAX).... It is always something there... But I think it is just because the city of Los Angeles is out to bleed every dime they can..

Going to start using the one that attaches to tow point just for those cases..

 

Beautiful car. Congratulations. I sure hope you don't have to park that thing in a public parking garage in NYC.

 

I figured as much, just never noticed other 991's with it. I guess others are not getting the power kit

 

Really don't like the off center look of the tow hook mount.
Since the dam to the radiator is quite deep, I'm looking at skene or a motorized solution for the plate.
I've seen them for mustangs and vettes, anyone with a power kit try one of those?

 

Thanks
Six months in the waiting

 

I do and am dreading it - any damage I've ever had on my cars all came from parking attendants. Will be requesting the top of a lift.

 

Congrats! Love the 50th. I drive my car into NYC every day from Long Island and park in a garage near my office. I always am amazed how the attendants point out little scrapes, etc., to bring them to my attention when I pull in, and then act taken aback when I tell them that THEY are the cause of those scrapes! What are you going to do . . . it's a car.
