Looking for front plate kit for 2018 RS5 tow jack hook
I am looking to see what is the best option for front plate kit for 2018 RS5? I see a bunch of them online but with bad reviews. I did a search here but couldn't find anything.
Thanks much as the car is being delivered in 3 hours and totally forgot about this....

I just installed the tow hook version from Craven Speed. Fits well and feels secure. Maybe a little to close to the bumper so I added some heavy duty tape to prevent scratches. Problem is that it sets off the parking sensor.

Since I'm not covering up that Quattro and not turning off the sensors, my Plan B is having a bud sit inside the car with the ignition on while I move the plate laterally along the front bumper to see if there is ANY area off-center that would work. There may not be anywhere along the bumper to attach the plate (besides dead center) if the sensors have the angled sensitivity I think they do. Still, I need to try. (I also need to figure out how to stand in front of the bumper while I try my little experiment and not set off a sensor myself! )

I bought the one off Ebay and can't seem to find a way to mount it without causing the parking sensors to go off
Any other options as Sto n Show doesn't have one for the 2018 RS5.

I share your concern about the parking sensors. Since I didn't mount the RS5 kit in the center due to covering up the Quattro badge, I mounted it on the driver's side. The parking sensors went off, as I mentioned in the above post. After I read your post here about the parking sensors, I tested the parking sensors by temporarily placing the license plate in the center where most kits are mounted. The sensors did not go off. That makes sense, as many cars have parking sensors these days; if the sensors on those vehicles went off, Mike would be selling less kits, heh. So a center mounting appears to work with the StoNSho kit. What kit do you have?
