License Plate

[dcallas]

Hey everybody,

Can somebody please let me know what I need to mount a front license plate on my 2002 986? As of now, I've only got two square holes up there. I imagine I need a combination of (i) some sort of spacer hardware, to distance the license plate bracket from the rounded bumper, and also (ii) something that sticks into the square holes to receive the screws. Can anybody give me any guidance here?

Thanks!

Sunset offers the complete set of spacers, plate bracket, and screws fror bracket and license plate--all for less than 10 bucks. Try a phone order (503.641.8600 or 800.346.0182)--the online parts order system is maxxed out and slow.

BTW--- the spacers themselves have projections which are inserted into the square holes of the bumper. Orienting the spacers so the bracket is flush with both and perpendicular to the ground is a free test of your spatial abilities!

Just go without one like I do! Looks better anyway.
