2017 Carrera Front License plate no holes

what is easiest drill hole free solution for 2017 911 Carrera Front License plate install? (I am in NY)

I cant use tow hook since it will block parking sensors and be really annoying all the time.

What can I do?

Check out the Skene bracket. Although there is drilling, it isn’t seen if the bracket were removed.

Thanks for the leed.

Anyone have any other suggestions.

Magnets i heard work but not sure with the 2017 911s.

These parking sensors in 2017 911 are a drag

Use your tow hook hole on the front bumper. I do the same for my Panamera and wifes CaymanR

They have some with extenders take a look. there are various ones in the market, I have parking sensors on mine and they don't block. I believe mine is US Millworks or something like that.

That is not for 2017 991.

Parking sensors in the way.

I don't get this. If you have to have a front plate it will cover any holes drilled and won't look lopsided like towhook thing.

Here’s a reason: No front plates in Quebec ... if I were to sell my car to someone residing there, rather than having to live with holes in the bumper or an empty front plate holder, they would likely be happier that the front bumper is clean after the Skene bracket was removed.

I had the Jaguar F-Type for over 4 years with no front plates. Granted I don’t live in NYC but I used to drive twice a week during weekdays to the city and parked in garage during the day and street in the evening. Also, I would often drive in Saturday evenings and never had issues. Once I even got pulled over for driving in emergency lane (the emergency lane becomes lane after a mile but I decided to do it early) and got a ticket for driving in emergency lane but no issues with no front plates. I think you should be fine without front plates with perhaps occasional fines

Got it. I just think that tow hook thing looks ridiculous. Just my opinion.

I have a 2017 C2S and installed the skene-design bracket (medium). it is easy to install and works great. The holes are drilled in the upper black flange from underneath. No visible holes.
