Grimspeed Tag bracket on dgm - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I should have waited for the group buy, but when i found out about it the one i had already ordered came in today. Damn maryland with their front tags, i guess it beats drilling into the front bumper.

looks pretty good, I was a bit hesitant in getting the grimspeed mount but looking at how it looks, its not too bad, plus no holes in the bumper lol

Nice

looks good! waiting on my group buy one...something about 10 day backorder. I figured a bright blue sports car will draw attention from the 5-0 so sticking with a front plate is a good idea.

offset plate on BRZ = not my cup of tea.

I want to like it but it just trips my eyes out seeing it off to the side. The important thing though is that you guys like it.

I'd not have a front plate at all if it weren't for the 5-0. I just wasn't feeling how the oem bracket had to be drilled into the front bumper.

Makes me glad I live in PA.

NY requires a front plate, but I don't run one.

hmm thinking of taking it off again lol what's the worst that could happen? A fine?

IMHO I'd rather sacrifice a little looks with the tow-hook mount rather than drill a hole in the bumper. The thought of that makes me cringe.

In Cali, you get a fix-it ticket and a fine, $25 I think...

I'm waiting on my group buy as well, not saying I'm carzy with the off-set, but I don't mind it, just don't want to get a ticket and can't bare the idea of drilling holes.

i think i saw one article, "SOME" cars are exempted from front plate. i have a neighbor who drives a bmw 1 series m coupe, who has a tow hook plate holder, then suddenly he took them off now its like 3mos now. the question is now, do we really get away with it? or not? cause i ghettoed zip tied my plate in front, while new stocks come in from grimmspeed.

A few co-workers of mine, that know deputy sheriffs, said that as long as you have no place to mount it, such as a bracket or something, then technically you don't need a front plate.

If I ever get pulled over for no front plate, a good buddy of mine said to call him and he'll take care of it. Helps to know people.

I rig the plate up temporarily, get the ticket signed and pay the $25 every now and then.
