Front License Plate Tow Hook

I saw that people were talking about what front plate holder to get. I got this...

http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/miscellaneous/p112-mower-deck-axle-co-2c-llc-front-license-plate-tow-hook-mount-kit-for-cayman.html

First about the company, I had ordered it like a year ago. Like many people I just kept driving without a front plate. But, then it started to happen. I would park in front of my house, or at a meter and come back to a fix it ticket. Which now entails a $20 payment. So, I went to put on my plate...but I could not find all the hardware. I Mower Deck, and the owner happened to answer the phone and he sent out all the replacement parts free of charge. I cannot recommend this product more. Ease of use, American made and great customer service.

I agree that the Mower Deck bracket is top notch. My only complaint --and why I took it off and went with the stock bracket-- is that the license plate looked to be at an odd angle and oddly off-center. I tried extending the Mower Deck plate with an aluminum bar, but gave up on that; thought that the extension looked even more odd. Just in case the bug to mount the tow hook way strikes me again, I bought Bumper Plugs, plugs. Ya' never know.

I think it looks good off center.

Better versions of a tow hook plate holder for Porsches have been around for a long time. This is the most poorly designed one I have seen. Shoild have Googled it. Many versions available that mount the plate straight and parallel to the bumper.
