Bumping this thread to see if MY22 owners have found any other alternatives?

Those who have used slybrackets, any cooling issues when using these brackets on the bottom grille?

I've been drving around in 95-100 high humidity, no problem. Been a nasty heat wave in the NE.

I've checked the bracket a few times, has not loosened.

If you don't mind me asking, does your car have the Parking Assistance Package and/or ACC??
I have seen photos of G42s with different lower grille configurations (inverted trapezoid in the center vs nothing but horizontal grills).

I wonder if the slybracket mounting location will block a sensor if the car has all those packages and options.

The sly bracket will block the ACC, that has the trapezoid. The Parking Assistnace adds a camera to the center of the kidney grill.

Well that sucks! I guess I'll have to look into a tow hook mount.

Some of the older 22s were offered with ACC. Of course it is now available again for 2023 builds

Do your sensors see the eos plate at that position? I've been having trouble finding the sweet spot.

Your sensors go crazy with the placement of the license plate?

Also, I really think the front plate thing is just for profiling people and an excuse to pull someone over. Cops see a $60k + sports car and probably think we're not being nefarious and leave us alone. But I bet if I was driving my highlander without a plate I'd be stopped immediately.
On the same page here, towns near me are bad with enforcing front plates but I've made it 2 months so far. Basically seeing how long I can go before I get a ticket...I love the front end naked. Will go with an EOS mount eventually

Bought an EOS mount but will probably never use it. Only if needed to show that I "fixed it".

Only had the car for 2 weeks here in Illinois, not pulled over yet!

I used commercial velcro from home depot and 160+ mph no issues.
Then can remove it during car shows.

Definitely another "plus 1" from me. They were very professional and responsive to all inquiries and replacement parts.

I just installed the EOS tow hook mount. I was able to adjust it so the front sensor isn’t blocked.

I probably would go this route if my state required a front plate.

Or a similar product.
