I would much rather use no front plate, but who knows if insurance in Canada will be void without it...

Cool Temporary until TRD kit comes in...

As soon as the TRD kit comes in, I will mount the license plate in front, and this GRIMMSPEED license plate relocation kit will be up for sale in the classifieds...

As for the rear, sporting TRD framed license plate

Its not so much the insurance company...but rather the police who are more concerned with this. The only places in Canada that don't require front plates are Alberta, Quebec and the two territories(maybe Nunavut too). Getting caught by the police and getting ticketed...this may affect insurance.

Not sure if they would even issue a ticket in BC, but I think I will be getting the manual Hide The Plate

Anybody get an official number on how many came to Canada?




May I ask where you got this done and how much you paid? PM if necessary.
The dealer told me that mine was the 3rd allocated in Western Canada and they dont know how many more will be available...

0 points doesn't entirely shield you from a insurance increase. Any time an insurer has any reason to believe the driver is an increased risk they will raise it. Points increase is a guarantee increase, but a zero point offense can stick to your record and hit your rates the moment you further prove to the insurance company that you're a risk. I don't know if IBC differs on minor offenses but for certain Ontario companies have done this even for 0 point speeding offenses.

It sounds like 4-8 weeks from now, approximately. I did not get an exact date yet...

What are everyones' thoughts on the Monogram spoiler. I think it must be better than the stock GT86/BRZ spoiler, but I'm not sure.
It looks like it might be a somewhat sophisticated or classy spoiler.

I'm still on the fence with it. The funny thing is the dealership where I purchased my Monogram had the same rear spoiler on all the other non-Monogram models. It took a lot away from the uniqueness of the Monogram model until I sat inside and saw all of the other great features.

I like the FIvE AD rear spoiler. It gives the car a bit of length (perceived) that seems to balance out the short rear end.

I like the FIVE AD spoiler. The TRD one looks a bit to tall from the pictures.
I like that the car is so short. It's much smaller than my current Celica.
