Hi all, new guy here, I'm looking for front license plate relocater on the front row hook area.

Anyone has any 4 sale? Or can point me to where I can buy online or local?

Thx

I got mine on ebay.

I just searched for BRZ tow hook license plate mount and bought the one I thought looked to be the most robust and adjustable.

i could sell you my old one. but shipping in even a flat-rate box is going to be more expensive than just getting a new one off ebay/amazon.

Thx guys, even the ebay ones are good or strong enough and not move or bend going hwy speeds?

I had an amazon one, it sucked. After you tighten the plate for the first time, the aluminum warps and becomes loose. No amount of tightening after that fixes it. Just get a good one once and be done- I bought the Perrin one and love it.

This design is junk -

Try contacting vendors from this thread. I've heard of every single one of them before so you should find what you're looking for. Or try finding a used one from kijiji or facebook marketplace

Contact Barrington at BRZ World. I had a good deal on a new Perrin Plate Relocator. He also price matches. Shipping was prompt and everything went smoothly.

I had a different experience. I bought the Dewhel 3 years ago for 25ish dollars, have taken it off and on 3-4 times and its still sturdy. I personally cant justify spending $80 on a piece of metal thats only job is to hold a plate.

Hey, if it worked for you that's great!
People spend hundreds of dollars on different colored bolts for their engine bay, so this market is what people have made it, unfortunately. I paid more because my experience was really poor, that's all.
