curious about the FR-S too, my buddy insisted I get the dealer to not drill my front bumper so now I need another way to put the plate on.

Several local FR-S owners I hang out with told me they aren't supposed to be drilled. The plate secures to the grille somewhow.

It's optional to be drilled. There's 2 marking's on the grill where to drill at.

FR-S Mod
I just did this mod for my FR-S. Removing the side lights for the bumper were the tricky part but easy once I figured it out.
Also, the bumper has markers on where to put the magnets - no measuring required. Just use the markers for where you're expected to drill. There are additional screw holes for the bottom screws but I just used the top ones. |

Threadlocker?
This is a great idea, had I seen it before the Grimmspeed I would have done it. Although, I'm completely happy with the Grimmspeed. For scratch protection, I would have used some shoe goo or rubber cement/liquid nails and made some simple raised beads around the hole. Nice and tacky, doesn't catch all the debris that felt does, and won't come off. |

Hi My OEM license plate mount, held by the bolt dealer put on, is turning but does not seem to come off. Any ideas?it sees like one of those screws you stick it in the wall that wont come off and keep turing.

How hard is it to get to the magnets with the bumper on? I would rather not risk lightly scratching the bumper while I try to mount the magnets, and if they can be reached without too much difficulty, I might even consider just using the force of the plate's magnets to keep the back ones in place.

Thanks for the input, I am just going to order them tonight and pop the bumper when I get some time on a weekend. I overlooked the sliding concern, and I wasn't too terribly worried about pulling the front bumper.
