I'm pretty sure we are in violent agreement. The diagram shows #6 sensor is above the grill, roughly between the headlights, in the body-colored panel. Indicated #5 camera location is a reference and note there is nothing below the camera other than the ultrasonic sensors.
Because my truck is white and most of my California plate is white, I wanted to installed right at the 6 sensor. This way only the numbers would stand out and lots of my friends had the same thought until my stick on plates came in. This dashed our hopes of not drilling into my R1T. Hope you have better luck.

I would love to do this, but since they dont have the EV plate (yet), for Colorado, and they are now required for EV's...

EV Plates are not required in Colorado. I've got US Army plates on mine. You can get an EV sticker for the upper passenger side corner of your windshield as an alternative to the plate.

You are correct, but with the EV plates, you dont need the sticker... Rather not have the sticker.

The EV plate is NOT required for Colorado. You can get any CO plate you want and they give you a little sticker to put in the corner of your windshield that says EV. I don't think a single cop out there will care if you actually use the EV sticker or not. They have more important things to deal with anyway. I don't have mine on and don't think it will ever be an issue.

Colorado requires a front plate, though plenty of people run without them. At work I like to back into a spot, but they scan license plates for permitting, so I've had warnings when I don't have a plate on the front. I didn't like the idea of drilling my bumper for the included mount, and wasn't super thrilled with the SnapPlate solution. Fortunately there are companies that will print a license plate replica on reflective vinyl. I went with https://adhesivereplica.com/ since they have Colorado, and I ordered the 11x5.5" version. I did the black "frame" without "screws". It arrived today and went on easily. We'll have to see how it does with the license plate reader at work, but I'm hopeful (not always a great strategy).

How has you sticker held up being there's a gap on the backing in one spot?

I visited the adhesivereplica.com website, and they offer the standard 12"x6" size, but they also have a Eurostyle 12"x4.5". When I contacted them, they mentioned they also have a metal option they call the "Rivian style," which is 12"x4". The decal is 1.5" shorter, and the metal version is 2" shorter than the standard size. Has anyone ordered a resized version? How does it fit, and how does it look? Can you share your experience? Please help me decide.

The standard sticker version doesn't really sit well on the front bumper. Because of the height, portions wrap the top and bottom. I would assume they modified their sizing to make it look better without rounding the edges?

I know states vary but in MN i have driven for two years with no front plate. I keep it in the frunk in case I am stopped. I asked the local law enforcement as I was curious as to their thoughts. The Sheriff of our county said they would never stop me for not having a front plate. He added that he did not think anyone else would either. I have been all over the state and the midwest and never been stopped. I also did not like the idea of drilling holes in my bumper and had no desire for an off center plate.

I love how it looks! Has anyone ordered the shorter size? Again, I’m not talking about the legal aspects, but it’s less of a headache when something is on the front, and law enforcement doesn’t focus on whether it’s there or not. I want to get the resized version, but my question is: how does it look? Does anyone have images or photos? Any previous experiences with ordering a resized plate?

Some states care about the front license plates. Others dont.

Colorado Cares, but I have yet to be stopped in nearly a year.

Missouri is indifferent about it. They dont care, as long as the cop isnt looking to make quota.

I ordered one for my 982 GTS since it didn't come with a front plate mount and I didn't want to install one. I didn't know license wraps existed until a few weeks ago when I saw one on a Taycan at Porsche Westlake.

$131.60 including tax/shipping. Supposed to take 4-5 weeks.

The standard 12x6 from licenseplatewrap worked great for me. The numbers are pretty much exact hight of the bumper. Just align top edge the the seam between the bumper and the grill, and trim at the seam below the bumper with a razor blade. Only tricky bit is the left to right curvature of the bumper can lead to gathering on the top edge.

No - I can find documentation that supports California allowing it but can not find anything specific on TX. Having a modified plate seems like a potential hazard, but maybe I am being paranoid.
Maybe some gorilla double sided adhesive tape? Stick it to the plate and bumper. ?

It's either a EV plate or a EV sticker on the top right of the windshield.
