Plate mount
 

I read a thread on this but don't remember if it was related to Canada at all. I'm just wondering for those of you who have your BRZ or frs did it come with a front plate mount? I don't want one and certainly don't want drilled holes if I can avoid it.

they will drill holes as part of the PDI by default

if you don't want holes you tell them prior and they leave it alone.

My dealer didn't drill the holes for me, even when I didn't ask them to.

Actually works out, cause it looks MUCH better, just don't know what I can do atm to mount it.

What have you guys done?

For the BRZ, the OEM bracket apparently doesn't require any drilling in to the bumper. I asked my dealer not to drill the bumper under any circumstances and they said it's not even required. Guess I'll find out later.

My car came with a front plate mount, however my province doesn't require one. They just left the mount with me though.

Have you ordered from them? Just curious how much the tax and duties would be and how much you would end up paying by the end of it.

Its currently just sitting on my dash, I'm tempted to just zip tie it or attach it to the bottom of the grill, just don't know if that would be a good idea or not.

I used zip ties to hold it onto the grille for now. Does a pretty good job, doesn't move around. I Will be buying a grimmspeed relocation kit soon.

I didn't order that because in Alberta we don't require front plate. But I saw a few good review on them.
I don't think they will charge tax but they use UPS and probably will charge brokage fee

I got mine via the GrimmSpeed GB and requested to ship via USPS (in place of Fedex/UPS), and they did. It arrived in Toronto in 4 days; no tax, no duty, no brokerage fee. Now, I just need a FR-S to put it on.

Good luck.

My dealer said it would be a shame to drill into the car and so they didn't. I didn't even ask them, so we zip tied the plate to the grill instead. I received my grimmspeed plate relocated today and just put it in. Looks great, a tad riced though. XD

really do you have pictures?

Yup. Here you go.

Mine didn't drill. They asked. I told them to go ahead. To be honest I like the look of it. It breaks up the front bumper nicely. I saw another BRZ around town and he doesn't have it. Just keeps his plate above the glove box which I think looks silly. To each their own.

A couple points though:

1) Not really sure I'd want a loose piece of metal in the cockpit if I was to get into an accident.

2) Tow hook plate looks retarded on most cars (including this one) imo. I don't know... I think I might be OCD when it comes to non-symmetrical things.
