So I installed the GrimmSpeed Front License Plate Mount today, and was very unsatisfied with the messy opening left behind by removing the tow hook cover:
I mean, who wants to see styrofoam on their car? So I did what any man of action would do and decided to do a little cleanup. You're gonna need:
- Drill with 1" Drill Bit (I used a spade bit since it's plastic, leaves a cleaner hole)
- A nice cold drink
First, pop the cover off the bumper and bring it to your base. On the back there is an embossed "SUBARU" logo. Line up the center of the drill bit to this spot:
Then drill baby drill:
I actually started with a 3/4" bit, but quickly realized that it was to small. Lucky for you I've already made that mistake so you don't have to. Go out to the car and pop it on:
Install your plate bracket and you're done! Take a few steps back and pat yourself on the back!
Now go open up your beverage of choice and chillax, cuz you're 31337 h4x0r!
*I did not check this on the Perrin mount, but by the looks of it you may need a larger bit, the tow hook bolt seems larger. If someone is daring enough to try and post feedback, please don't hesitate!
