We did this same one but it seem to mess with the sensor.

Here's what I have. It's a WIP but so far it's starting to look good. I need to move it like 1" to the right. I didn't see the SlyBrackets before I started down this option. I may opt for that but the plate needs to be at least 12" off the ground here in California... for years of no front plate I don't want to push my luck.

Decided what the heck and purchased the Sly Bracket. It arrived within 3 days. Put it on Saturday morning with no issues. I think I may add a rubber spacer behind it so that there is a contact between the rear of the plate and the bumper. It is attached to the lower grille and would likely damage the grille in a Front impact.
Looks good! It doesn't look like it blocks the air going into the grille, right?
 
Very Minimal the plate is mostly in the bumper area.
Thanks! Hope they get back in stock soon - don’t really like the off-centered look of the tow hook mounts so this would be a good way to avoid drilling the bumper.
 
The SlyBracket is available to order again - they’re shipping on the 27th per the website. Order submitted and fingers crossed!

Do you have a link or the name of the bracket you used?
 
I received my Slybracket a few days ago and installed it yesterday. The parts are good quality and it was easy to install with the included instructions. Finally, it looks great on the car. Easy enough to find at slybrackets.com. It's a few bucks pricier that it probably should be, but then I haven't seen anything else quite like it.

Just curious since my plates haven’t arrived yet, but my bracket has and I was waiting to put it on… did you need to use the spacers? And did you put rubber bumpers on the back? (Someone with a Tesla suggested the latter as someone tapped his bracket in a parking space and the screws gouged his bumper) Thanks in advance!
