Default Removable front plate

Looking for an easily removable front plate bracket. Thinking about EOS tow hook bracket or the STO N SHO. It’s going on my Grand Sport with a front splitter. Suggestions on these or other choices?

Sto N Sho on our `19 Grand Sport - easy install, quick connect and disconnect. This plate spends most of the time in the trunk.

Installed the Sto 'n' Sho and it really works well, but when parking need to remember that it reduces the minimum ground clearance another 3/4 inch or so.
Also, I added some foam tape to silence the plate and ground a chamfer on the end of the supporting rod to allow it to be inserted without having to pull the ring on the retaining pin

I went with Sto N Sho from Big Mikes Performance for my 17 GS. I’m very happy with plate holder. On my 04 I had the Sho N Go remote plate holder loved the remote holder But couldn’t use that on my GS because of angle of GS front splitter. Here is picture of Sto N Sho mounted under my GS.

How often do you want to take it off and on? If it's just a rare occasion, you might consider the Zip. I keep one of these in the trunk in case I get stopped, and hope to talk myself out of a ticket. I installs in a few seconds, no modifications to the car.
