G63 has arrived! Advice on front plate?

Picking up this beauty Wednesday. So excited!

Wondering if anyone has advice on mounting a front license plate. I was hoping someone made a plate holder that would mount to the brush bar, but I haven't had any luck finding one. Has anyone seen a good option for mounting the front plate?

No plate. Just don’t put it on.

No Plate, Don't do it Please!

You can look into the magnetic option, I had it done on my S63 while installing the radar/laser jammer.

Full Body PPF is a must and enjoys good health!

if zip tied to the vent you block air flow no? Beautiful spec btw, didn't know you could get the 21's without the chrome ring around the wheels

You can’t use the words “zip tie” and “G63” in the same sentence!

I use this on my AMG GTC: they may have one for the G63 if you email them:

New Model...G53?? Just kidding ——-I have had magnets fail and it is very easy to simply remove the plate by passers by...it happened to me on a legacy plate...in Southern California....The zip tie is a great idea and it is not permanent ...but hard to easily remove....I know zip tie sounds weird...but it is great idea to avoid drilling holes or loosing a plate...while keeping LA based meter maids at bay!!

Cheers

Oops, edited! Maybe a G53 will come in the future, with a hybrid drivetrain.

The mount I use on my AMG GTC doesn't use mangets. It bolts under the front bumper. The plate can be removed with a quick-release type connection.

My 2020 is almost identical yo yours...except for 22 inch forged wheels...it’s getting delivered to me this weekend...I have a previous gen G63’s where I used zip ties...I should clarify that I used zip ties with the factory mounting license plate bracket supplied my Mercedes Benz. I concealed the zip ties so they were not visible ...not sure the factory mount for 2020 G63’s will allow for the mounting Method—-totally agree the idea of visible zip ties would look horrible —

cheers

I did the same thing just to get an inspection sticker and then removed immediately. Worked like a charm

Sorry, just saw this. Yes, it's well known that XPEL Stealth has no affect to the look of matte paint. You can't tell the difference.

Try to guess which one is with PPF and without:

I can't see how this will work. where do you have a grill like that on the AMG GT? The intake vents also open and close dynamically...
Your best bet is Sto N Sho (www.stonsho.com). Fits perfectly and their customer service is amazing.

I have a 2020 G63. It seems that it will work. Stonsho doesn't have an option for the G63 that I saw.
