Omar, let me ask the question another way. When installed, how much space below the bumper does the license plate take up? 1" 2"? Thanks.

I agree. If you pulled off a small Porsche logo and put a larger one on it would still be a Porsche. Just because they didn't put a big enough logo on the calipers at the factory isn't your problem, you just fixed their mistake.

Great looking car.
