Dealing with the front license plate

[CxM]

It's angled a bit so doesn't seem to block air flow much, and maybe better for drag then straight on the front.

Was a quick 5min install, just put car on lift mode to help. Comes with longer screws, just take the two out from under the front lip, and replace with the longer ones. I think it can be installed on either side as it fits in the stock mounting holes, but didn't check.

Here's a couple pics:

Thanks for sharing, I think I will purchase one of these. I see that they have switched to a four hole mounting plate, which would avoid annoying rattles.

I used the Sto N Sho front plate bracket.

Easy, no drilling. Just used the screws they supply and fits in stock screw holes under the front lip. Also has a quick release pin to take off.
I prefer it to the tow mount, think a bit cleaner look:

thanks a lot --- order placed

No need to over complicate things..... I have a short plate on the front of mine, which is held on with 3M double sided tape. Been on 6 months and no sign at all of any movement. Apply tape on the edges shown, put plate on and Bobs your uncle. The car in the photo isn't mine, just an example

I needed to get my Taycan inspected (I was actually quite overdue and completely forgot about it) and used the 3M double-sided tape. Worked great and was easy to get the plate on and off. Like the photo above, I used the front bumper mount supplied with car and put some tape on the lower tabs (they‘re positioned to go around the front sensor package) and the upper edge. Held great, but I wouldn’t drive around with that setup full-time. Did the trick and now can mount it easily if needed without marring that gorgeous front fascia.

Nice. I've been doing the same thing for years but always had to take my own picture and go to a signage shop to get it printed in weatherproof vinyl. This site seems to make it easier, and for similar price.

I used the Sto N Sho front plate bracket.

What does it look like with the plate not attached? Is it invisible?

Check out their website. The Sto-n-Sho mount attaches to the underside of the front spoiler. With the plate detached, you can’t see anything unless you look under the spoiler.

Thanks, I only looked at the purchase link but the website cleared it up for me. Cheers.

I have worked through 3 of the solutions suggested in this thread and finally settled on the Sto-N-Sho. For me it is the least intrusive on the design of the Taycan (still not pretty, but none of them are). I will list the runner-ups and why they were not chosen in case it is useful to others.

Sto-N-Sho mounting is easy, does not interfere with front sensors, and plate can be added or removed in 5 seconds. I was worried it would intefere with driver side heat exchanger but there is good flow around it while stationary and the vents in the front have lovers that close at speed anyway.

Runner-ups
Rennline - I used the configuration mentioned in this thread and found the ball mount tough to get really tight (to prevent movement) and just didn't like how high it sits to clear the front sensors. The edges of the plate holder are sharp so I actually filed (rounded) the sharp edge to prevent possible damage from the plate holder contacting the bumper. It just seemed a bit fiddly.

License plate sticker - I purchased this and saw it on a friend's Taycan and really liked it, but figured the risk of being fined for a counterfit plate was worse than no plate at all (noted by others on this thread). Great concept, if you don't run afoul of the wrong trooper.

There only a few photos of the Sto-N-Sho, so I have included mine if it helps others.

I've been running license plate stickers for a while (over 8 years now). I talked to a traffic cop once about it, he told me that since it's legal to just paint your plate numbers on a car cover some people use for parking, he sees no problem with the license plate sticker as long as it's clear and legible. Heck, all WA state specialty plates have been screened since 2005 instead of embossed (raised lettering) , so they pretty much are like a printed sticker already.

I just ordered the Sto N Sho plate mount-thanks for the tip!

CxM, thanks for the excellent recommendation. Installing it was easy as you described. Now, I no longer have to worry about the issues relating to fix-it tickets when parking in San Francisco.

Has anybody here fitted Sto-n-Sho's Taycan mount to a MY22 Cross Turismo?
A couple of months ago I had a conversation with one of the parts department staff at my dealership and he showed me some parts diagrams that implied there could be variations between the sedan and CT in how the front spoiler is attached. The Sto-n-Sho depends upon removing two front-spoiler fasteners and reusing the vacated holes to attach the mount with its own screws. Yes, you would think that the sedan and CT front parts should be the same, but my post is seeking to confirm that.

I was waiting for US Mill works to come out with a Taycan tow hook plate as i had with Cayman S. Not drilling. But after a month no front plate went with 30lb 3M double sided. Never budged. Very Solid. Then did ceramic coating went with sto n sho. Has held up not bottomed out on driveway lip. Air lift has helped remember by gps low spots.

I am willing to pay a fine everytime I am pulled over for this.
