Scratch and Dent?
Occasionally, we get new parts or returns that have cosmetic blemishes that do not affect the functionality of the part. Rather than toss them in the scrap bin, we offer the parts for sale at a deeply discounted price. In many cases, the location of the blemish prevents it from even being seen once the part is installed. Like all of our products, we still guarantee it to be the correct fit and to work properly and will offer to exchange components should anything need adjustment. Please note that we do not issue refunds for scratch and dent parts.
Genesis GV80 Front License Plate Mount
The Platypus is a front license plate bracket that is made in the USA to exacting specifications. It is one of the best Genesis GV80 accessories for keeping your license plate holder legal with no drilling required.
Removable
In many states, you need a front plate on your Genesis, but that does does not mean you have to drill it in permanently. The Platypus is designed to fit the existing port on the front bumper of the GV80 for model years years from 2021 to 2025. This method of installing the front plate is common and legal in all states that require front license plates. At times when the plate is not needed, it can be removed easily, leaving no trace that it was ever there.
Quick Release
We believe that touchless is the only kind of automatic car wash anyone should subject their Genesis’s paint job to. If you absolutely need to use a rag car wash, then the Platypus should be removed to avoid getting caught up in the machine. We have planned for this. Using the included stainless steel flat wrench you can loosen the bolt a quarter turn and then slide the plate off before the wash. This takes less than a minute. Although we have never had a plate backing come loose accidentally, each plate backing is balanced such that if it did the plate would hang and not fall off.
Extension Arm for Precision Fit
This kit uses an Extension Arm in order to fine tune the placement of your plate mount to avoid a fog light or other bumper feature on your Genesis GV80 2021-2025. To use the extension arm, first screw in the aluminum stud, keeping in mind the thread is left-handed, then bolt the extension arm to it. Finally, attach the main plate to the extension arm and tighten, making sure it will not come loose.
The placement of this Platypus kit will avoid triggering the PDC sensors on your Genesis. At most, you will need to manually adjust the angle of the plate once installed to ensure the whole plate is out of the sensors view.
Your Platypus is Guaranteed to fit! If you have any problems, please contact us at support@cravenspeed.com
Materials
The black powder-coated mounting plate is the full size of your license plate and includes stainless steel button head screws that look excellent.
The stud portion is machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized. We make the studs at the high end of the receivers tolerance, that way the stud fits tight and stays put while you drive (this means that the stud will not go in without a wrench, like the stock tow hook does).
The hardware provided is the exact length for your plate mount and will not stick through the back to scratch your bumper, if you would like to install a plate frame or plate cover you will need a longer set of hardware for $1 here.
