No Front License Plate - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I used automotive doubled sided tape in the two areas where the bolts would've been instead of drilling holes and it held on pretty well.

I've seen a DIY magnetic mount that seems to work pretty well somewhere on the forums.

Do you have a BRZ or FR-S?? I'm not sure how the FR-S factory bracket looks like.

You can take it off at car shows and still look good while you're on the road with the front plate displayed by law.

I ordered it way before I even got the car.

Same here - I had a ton of parts - the custom "HCHIRKU "plate started the ball rolling in June 2012 - way before I even ordered the car in Dec 2012

It's tougher for BRZ's bit I don't mind having it on the grill for the FRS - seems like an easy piece to replace. In the bumper itself is another question...

Hey folks, buried in news articles about Ontario changing licence plate slogan is a statement that they are considering eliminating front licence plate. Regardless of your feelings about our Ontario government, you gotta love the idea of no more front plate!

After seeing a front plat on cars for several decades I don't even notice them. In fact cars without them look weird to me. I guess what I am saying is I don't care one way or the other. Be a nice cost savings for them though.

Same as T Coat... I'm so used to have two plates that I even like (I know weird) how the cars looks with the two license plates...

BRZ Guy · 04-04-2019, 04:26 PM

I agree, I’m used to the front plates, I don’t even notice them.

However I hate them relocated to the side, where they then stick out to me and an eyesore.
