Default No drill centered license plate hanger on 981-options?

Does anyone know of a no drill plate hanger for a 981 that will hang in the center opening? The car has parking sensors so I don't think the tow hook style will work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This was covered on the 991 Forum. I can't search with the Mobil app or else I'd post a link for you.

You have 2 options....one is http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/Choose.shtml

Or option 2 is a Show N Go plate holder (they sell them on Amazon and a few other sites. I think they make 2 versions, one motorized one is not. Last year, one of the guys at the Taunton C&C had the motorized one that slides under the front spoiler.

Good luck.

This unit attaches into the tow hook, no drilling.

I think you skipped the key part of the OPs question. It needs to be a center mounted system so it doesn't interfere with parking sensors. The site you mentioned specifically says next to their products for the 981, not for use with cars with parking sensor.

Check with Larry at Axle mower company. He has made the screw in type (screwed into the front tow hook receptacle for Cayennes and 991 C2s cars that have parking sensors.

Larry started the whole thing of screw in front license plate holders for Porsche vehicles.

I like Larry's products. I had one of his plate holders on a 987 and I have one on a 981CS. Larry's site says it won't work on a 991 with sensors. Says the same about Cayennes (but then it says it will if its mounted in the center opening of his plate holder it won't interfer). However, there is nothing definitive about 981s. I don't have parking sensors so it was a non issue, and I'm very happy with my plate holder from moweraxel.
