There's the GrimmSpeed relocation kit. It hangs it off the tow hook, so it's off-center.

My friend has an evo, and they made a custom license plate europe style match it to your license plate, so it covers the middle part of the bumper which looks unique, and he mounted the license plate on the windshield.

he never get pulled over by cops.

Are you sure they drilled the bumper and not just the grill?

One of the guys on that discussion bought it and he said it covered the holes drilled by the dealer. I assume it'll work for you too. Maybe ask him just to double check? The guy who bought it is in Cali too so maybe you can even see it in person before picking up a set.

woohoo so he says it should work. were both in san diego so im gonna visit him tomorrow to check it out :D appreciate all the help guys!

Im looking to get one from perrin I think that mounts at the toe hook. Luckily my dealer didnt drill any holes as per requested. Ill wait and see if I actually get hit with a fix it ticket first though. I havent had a front plate on any of my cars in years with no issues.

FR-S Matt 12-01-2012 10:51 PM

My dealer asked me if I wanted it on there when I arrived to pick the car up. I said absolutely not... Offered to put it on at a later time "if" I need it. Lets put it this way, I drove my red 2002 Camaro SS for over 3 years without a front license plate. I'll be just fine I think.

Is there a difference between the perrin, grimmspeed, and ptuning mounts? which is suggested?
