Front License Plate Wrap

Anyone ever hear of these?

https://licenseplatewrap.com/

Apparently they're the only "authorized" supplier of these things and they provide a letter from the DMV.

I'm not a huge fan of the look, but I just got a new front bumper and don't feel like drilling holes just yet.

I know a few Tesla owners who had these made by other shops and don't have the DMV letter, and they haven't had any problems.

No, but why get one of these when you can just get a tow hook mount?

Probably because tow hook plate mounts look like complete crap.

Agree.. Tow hook mounts look worse than these stickers.

Screw it, I'm ordering the OEM plate mount.

You can get a plate mount that attaches under the bumper.

The plate can then be pulled out and shown or put under and be hidden.

Just get the sticker plate.

Highly subjective. I'd say this is worse, but you do you.

100% subjective.

For me, first issue is that it is off center. Second issue is that it looks terrible when viewed from an angle. Protrudes too much and is not in curvature line of the bumper.
