There is a place in Oregon (IIRC) that will do a vinyl decal of your plate so you can just lay it on your bumper or edge of the hood. Voila!

That is excellent! Little James Bond action.

I wonder how durable/reliable those systems are? Anyone here have this?

Why not use 3M sticker to stick it to your front bumper?

I just ordered a mower axle kit for a clients cayman R... i have never really been a fan and would likely just put holes in the front bumper... but i will take some pics as well.

Don't have any of those features on the 997 so I have no idea. But I doubt they would on any other car. Give it a shot.

I'd imagine that a new front bumper and paint would cost you close to 800-1000. Id rather pay for a bunch of tickets than that

A guy here tried something like that. He had it printed on a material that even matched the state-issued plate's reflectivity but the police still gave him a ticket for it. That's some BS, imo.

The owner knows it is his plate. But, I can see why they would give people a problem for self-printed plates.
