Mine was like this until I got the Perrin relocation kit. definitely better than drilling into the bumper.

Personally, i don't really care for any of the locating brackets, but i ordered the grimmspeed one for my car.

Why can't the US switch to Euro style license plate? they looks so much better on EVERY car. I would have no issue drilling and putting a euro license plate across my bumper, the US plates in the bumper of the BRZs just make the car look buck-toothed like a beaver or chipmunk. anyone else notice this?

I'm going to be at Pev's Paintball park this Sunday around 10:30 for pew pew pew. I've never been there, and out of all the people already going I probably know 2. Feel free to join. They rent equipment and use their own paint.

Crap. Just curbed my passenger-side front wheel. It's a good thing it's the stock wheel, but I'm still annoyed. Oh well, matches the scratches under the bumper I guess...

I can't tell you how many times I've gotten out of the car and had a mini heart attack from seeing the nose over a curb. I've come within mere millimeters of scraping but so far no damage.

I blame my old Civic and its short nose!

If I didn't have better ones for next spring I'd probably do something about it (IMHO, they'd look better one color, it's the two-tone that bugs me) but since they're going to be winter-only for the future I'm just going to deal with it.

My dealership mounted my front plate this way using the stock factory bracket. I didn't request it, but I definitely appreciate them not drilling into the painted area.

I was driving home from Tysons this morning and saw a large line of mini's on 495 so I decided to weave in and out of them in my FRS lol.

Haha they prob said "" this asshole"" but nice car!!

[Frostyman]

speaking of scratches, I accidentally became airborne yesterday, and scratched the hell out of the underside of my front. good thing they are far enough back not to be seen easily.
