Carbonio No Drill License Plate Mount install
May be beating a dead horse with this topic but I personally HATE having my cars be drilled into so the front plate can be mounted. After looking continuously for a legit no drill option I pulled the trigger on the Carbonio no drill mount and did an install video for those that are in the market for one. I am not affiliated to them at all just trying to make everyone's decision a bit easier. If you are wondering how it handles highway / autobahn speeds I have been on the autobahn a few times since I installed it and cruising at 110 MPH / 177 KMH its held on no issues and there has been no signs of the plate flexing.
If you like the video go ahead like and subscribe! |

Why do people have to drill into the bumper? The plate hides those holes and you won't see them when you get rid of the car. Help me understand.

This is what I HAVE:

I don't agree with the damage part - cause like I said, for those who have to have the front plate (with no hope of moving), it really isn't damage - it is two holes covered by a plate. The people who do the offset tow hook mount - those just look soo mooch to me - so, to me, they drive around with a terrible looking front plate setup for years, so they don't have holes in their bumper after they get rid of the car. The only person that helped was the new owner and I do agree, that the system you put on there is sooo much better than this picture

This thing is pretty stupid expensive for what you get, but at the same time, it does work - unlike many of the tow-mount plate adapters from what I've found. It was a tough bill to pay but it was absolutely worth it just to be done. When I purchased the kit back in 2019, the incorrect installation instructions were included and they made no sense because they were for a different car. I dropped an email to Carbonio and they sorted it out immediately. Not that you'd really need customer support for something like this but it was nice to have them there dealing with it. I was impressed and recommend this frame!

But after a year of randomly triggering my front parking sensors any time i put the car in the reverse, i bit the bullet. My conclusion was that I should've just gone Carbonio in the first place. Expensive, but absolutely worth it. |
