I see. that black bar can't be mounted on the bottom too?

Going to give that a shot, removing the plates soon anyway for ceramic coating

Now you see it... now you don't...

We are still working through some prototypes, but are getting close to a 'dual' mounting option depending on whether or not you want to show the "GR" logo.

Awesome work. Personally I would avoid driver side altogether because a mounted plate and GR badge together upsets the visual balance for me. Passenger side would require a more creative solution, which another vendor has been working on.

Looks great. You don’t need to see the “GR” badge as you know what the flippin car is because you signed and bought it. Completely irrelevant. You got a GR badge on the back, and in fact, just debadge the entire car!

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[byebyeGTI]

I got the Kollektiv Werks one and did a bit of a no-no by installing it other than instructed. They say it voids the lifetime warranty, but I’m willing to take that bet and if I lose, I’ve got nobody to blame but myself. It kinda gets in the way of the intercooler but I’m not a fan of how it looks up higher. I figure it’s no better or worse than where the factory
drill holes are located. Still waiting on my plates, so I’ve only got a picture of the mount for now.

Looks outstanding John, excellent work. Looks like the go to out of all them to me. Got a nice EVO feel to it and that’s where I wanted it, exact spot.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Our primary goals were easy install (removing the small tow hook cover is a piece of cake), being able to revert back to stock with no cutting/drilling, and to avoid blocking the intercooler. Especially with summer coming up, you want the intercooler to receive as much airflow as possible.

my back yard spl solution since I using the tow hook for a tow hook regularly. it's essentially the OEM placement but off to the side.

Agree. Intercooler needs all the help it can get, especially here in the hot and humid south where heat soak is definitely a thing. Your EVO like solution is literally the perfect solution for the car. I hope your solution is a real quick swap as it will make it like 1 minute for track days to put the tow hook back in then put the plate back on for the drive home. And I like it especially because I’ll be moving to a state that has no front plate requirements so this solution is perfect. Excellent job.

Been with you guys since 2016 or so when you started working on my RS. Solid shop. I just hope the rear diff/clutch pack cooler comes to fruition this time.

Hey @doktorjak - thanks for the long time support! Yes, swapping between the license plate relocation and tow hook should be fast.

For comparison’s sake, this is the lowest and farthest left you can get the KollektivWerks solution before blocking the intercooler with their design.

Hey John, really like the look of this. What is the current time frame for this to be ready? Any chance its the next few weeks?

 

[Cptnslo]

I’m curious also how far along this is in terms of prototypes and potential release. I’m moving states and going from no front plates to a state with front plates sucks

Hey @J03K3R & @Cptnslo - We are working through production now and are slated to launch this summer. Once we are getting closer, I will give everyone an update. We will also be holding a pre-sale to get these to you at a discounted rate.

Dang, sounds like one of the 'cons' in your move ended up being a front plate. Bummer! Hopefully you can hold off for a bit until we are launched.

Happy to hear john. I am hoping this is done soon as I head off to academy in a few weeks and need a front plate sadly.
