If you need to only display the plate while parked to avoid tickets like I do NY, this is what I've come up with and it works great.
Take a magnet and attach the inside of tow hook cover, then tape another magnet to the back of your plate. Tape the entire back of the plate and edges of the license plate to protect your car. Super easy attach and detach, just be sure to use a strong magnet. Looks very clean as well. |

Moving to the US next month (car goes on boat Tuesday). I've ordered the low mount version. Will be interesting to see how it works in conjunction with the lightweight front lip...may have to do a bit of modifications (maybe couple more passthrough holes in the sto n sho mount plate for the lip screws).
Pic for reference |

Just ordered the top mount version. Re-painting my front bumper this summer and will have them fill in the existing licence plate holes.
Thanks for the link! This is much cleaner. |

Has anyone with XPEL and Opti-Coat on their front bumper tried the Sto N Sho?
Any opinions on whether the double-sided tape on XPEL (with OptiCoat) would work? Or given the paint protection, is drilling a better idea?

Thanks. Do you have XPEL (or similar) or only some kind of coating (OptiCoat, CQuartz, etc)?

Do you drive with it off or on most of the time? There's officers on my way to work each day so I pretty much have to drive 15 miles each morning with this on 5 days a week.

Looks great and I finally have to throw one of these on. Was curious where you got the CF to reinforce the back as I'd like to do that as well. Also - could you post a pic of a side view - was curious how far from the bumper it is on the high mount version.

I have paint protection and the wrap doesn't go all the way back to the black grille, so actually the unit is small enough that it sits behind the wrap. PM if any one wants pics

I drive 90% of the time without the plate. When im traveling on highway for an long distance is when I install it. I do carry it in the trunk and if I get pulled over, I'll start by saying I just got the car washed and forgot to put it on.

I had one of these on my last car and it was great, that car had screw holes you could undo and screw the bracket into. |

Regarding carbon fiber, just google "carbon fiber sheet" and you will find numerous vendors that sell small pieces of various types. Here is a side view of my high mount installation.

Your pic reminds me - I wish the lower grille was easily removable to make cleaning leaves and junk off the oil and transmission coolers! Seems like a no-brainer.
