Jerry Skene is a class act...I sent back my Skene bracket cause it wouldnt work and I told him to look at this thread(ie-your pics)...he is modifying my bracket by doing what you did and sending it back to me at no charge(not even shipping)....

If you are willing to drill the front bumper go ahead... And then you choose between a vertical and a slanted look without an easy removal option ?!?
If I'm forced to mount the front plate the JCS solution with its flexible positioning is much preferred.

I've seen pictures of the Skene now. Can someone let me see what the JCS towhook version looks like when it's installed? That way, I can buy one of them, put it in the garage and break the jinx. Having bought the mount I'll probably go another ten years with no attention.

Personally, I would rather drill 2 small holes on underside of bumper which isnt visible unless you were on the ground looking up then the tow hook option which looks odd/unattractive being off centered by a foot...but its all about choice and Im glad we have choices....

That's a given here in BC. They're always on the lookout for missing front plates especially exotics. Gotta fill the coffer, you know. That's why I caved in and bought a bracket from Jerry Skene - no drilling the front of the bumper.

IT IS possible to install the Skene Design 1.5" short bracket onto my 2007 997. I just completed the installation with a slight modification. I cut the back end of the mounting bracket at an angle in order to mount on the underside of the bumper with less than 1/2" portruding out the front. To accommodate the clear plate cover, I bought 3/4" x 32 S/S bolts and cut them flush (going to do the bottom ones as I scraped my hand washing).
This arrangement looks a lot better than right on the face of the bumper, IMHO. PM me if anyone needs more details.

Or is this "extra short" bracket truly made for the 997 models and thus need no modification? Thanks for the help

Firstly, i want to say that placing a number plate on the front of your 2008 911 C2S is just sacrilege a point not lost on Porsche i think. On that note has anyone noticed that Porsche have purposely designed the front wing to not allow a plate to fit. The bracket supplied by the porsche dealership doesn't fit (size) and even if it did it would need longer screws than provided for it to be fixed. I just got a ticket for not having a plate - $100 well spent if you ask me. Am i missing something when it comes to mounting the plate?

The plate bracket should match the front bumper.
What is this 'front wing' you speak of? As far as I know, there is no wing on the front of the car.

Thanks for the info consom. I noticed you modified the short bracket from Skene. Is the bracket you modified their "extra short" bracket that's currently listed for the 997 on their website?
