Used 2" plastic pipe and 8" anchor bolts with a reversed license plate frame and made my own mount.

Owns three cars and two bikes and it too cheap to buy a real bracket.

Only kidding, it look good. How about a pic of what you made?

LOL not too cheap just didn't care for the available options , I'll try to get a better pic after work and post it . It's solidly mounted and looks right IMO

I really like the craigs bracket. The position on the bumper is perfect, doesn't block the venting. Definitely install in warm weather, take your time and follow the instructions. so far, so good.

So I’m late getting back to the thread but this was my under teen dollar solution up close. 2 anchor bolts a license plate frame and 2 plastic pipe pieces. It’s mounted firm and don’t shift and looks decent

I went with the ZL1 addons version since it covered the tow point requirement for track days.

I was considering the Craigs license plate bracket, but this warning in it's description gave me pause:

*CAUTION: Not recommended for install over vinyl stripes or clear bra type material.

I'll have to ask my detailar if this will indeed damage the ppf on the bumper.

Yeah I was using the heat gun during the whole process of attaching the bracket and I hit it for a couple mins after it was attached too. Maybe I just got a bad batch of adhesive but I did follow directions to a T. We had extremely cold temps during those first 3 weeks, like around zero at night & high under 20 almost every day, after the install so that was probably it. I will wait till it's in the 60's to try again. Not a big deal looks great with no front plate for now and I have a great excuse if pulled over haha

Wow when did FL start the front plate requirement, of course it been 30 years since I left.

It’s not a matter of damaging the PPF. It is about adhesion. The bracket will not properly stick to the PFF. A small piece of PPF would have to be removed to use it.

Any member want or need one I have a BRAND NEW Stow and go plate in the box never used. P/M me.

I have black racing stripes and the section where the main mount adheres to fortunately does not have stripes reaching to that area. I was able to install on clear paint. I also installed mine before I had Ceramic Coating put on. I used to do PPF, but found I was more ocd about the imperfections in the film from damage then I was about rock chips. Plus this time around I just didn't have the $ for both...
Also, the part of the bracket that touches the bumper has rubber stops that protect it from the plate making contact with the bumper or vinyl stripes...

Sto n Sho is the way to go. Got it on my front. When crossing low curb n gutter driveway approaches, the edge of the plate will scrape first before the spoiler. You have to go slow but you can hear it scrape. They're like $80us but worth it.

Sto and sho is great if you don't mind the reduced clearance and enjoy scraping sounds on driveway transitions. I had one on my '15, and lost the stowing function when one of the rods got bent after backing out of a spot with one of those concrete stops.

For the '20, I installed this:

Looks good, no clearance issues, quick install. Hope it holds up.

This looks really nice if you don't plan on removing your plate. I used the Craig because, quite frankly I never actually ran with the plate on. Had I ever got pulled over I could say sorry, and put it on in seconds. The Craig's is also $25.00 cheaper and made in the USA. Not sure where your is made.

Yes, you're right. This one doesn't have a quick method of taking the plate off.
It could be (I don't know for sure) made abroad. Its material quality is surprisingly good. Its brackets are made of anodized milled metal. The tolerances appear tight. It is a quality product. The supervisors on the mfg line must be sticklers.
