Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I was just thinking the same- blocks air to a carefully well designed and tested air flow opening.
Leading evidence: 'Test air flow opening' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test air flow opening' (1 discussions).

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I helped a new friend buy a 996 cab today. I forgot where I bought a very high quality stainless plate frame that can be mounted lower than than the factory nose job?
TIA!!

Front plate, what's that?
Two months ago, I was parked in Golden Gate Park and it was raining that day. Returned to the car to find a ticket. I was shocked to find it was written by a Seargent who got out of his car in the pouring rain to do it (can you say "month end"). It was for $10 (a lot of SF tickets are $275, I didn't know they had any this cheap) and I had to Google the code when I got home to figure out what it was for...no front plate. I threw it out and never heard from them.
Here is the link for the best front license plate frame you can buy. I had to do a search in the 993 forum but the product can be fitted to 996 as well. BTW, No affiliation.

I just took the regular plate mount and moved the holes about 1"1/2 to lower the plate just enough so that my cop countermeasures device is hard to see. Easy and looks good!
have not had front plate since 2002... 2002 C2..2004 GT3. A few times I have walked up to my car with an officer looking at the GT3. Twice they asked if I wanted to trade cars :-). We talk about cars and off I go. I know I have been lucky but I will stay with the plugs
That $10 ticket will grow expotentially into a >$100 as time flys by and then when you go to register your car one day, DMV will threaten to suspend your license unless you pay.
Ask me how I know, a $30 ticket for something I 'threw' out turned into a >$360 ticket and they threaten to suspend my license.
So yes, I have an ugly front license plate on my 996 and all my other cars.
Why give the cops an excuse to stop you or write a ticket? There are those cops who will use it as an excuse to hassle you.
My daughter once got a ticket for no front plate on her S2000 in Maryland even though the car has NJ plates. And the car was parked, she was no where near it when they ticketed it. Figure that one out.
