Only kidding, it look good. How about a pic of what you made?
I'll have to ask my detailar if this will indeed damage the ppf on the bumper.*CAUTION: Not recommended for install over vinyl stripes or clear bra type material.
Wow when did FL start the front plate requirement, of course it been 30 years since I left.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
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.I was considering the Craigs license plate bracket, but this warning in it's description gave me pause:

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...It’s not a matter of damaging the PPF. It is about adhesion. The bracket will not properly stick to the PFF.

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.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.
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.Sto and sho is great if you don't mind the reduced clearance and enjoy scraping sounds on driveway transitions.

For the '20, I installed this:

Looks good, no clearance issues, quick install. Hope it holds up.
Yes, you're right. This one doesn't have a quick method of taking the plate off.This looks really nice if you don't plan on removing your plate.
