Just ordered the magnets, thanks for the writeup @shiumai! Was looking for a relatively inexpensive, non-offset, and non-drill to mount my required front plates. This fits the bill perfectly.

Magnets ordered! Thanks for the innovative write-up. We're going to try this on our shop car and let you know how it holds up against the horrid New York streets.

hope it works out for you guys as well. as mentioned in my edited writeup above, the front bumper plastic mars at the slightest touch it seems. even it's just felt (which can eventually get dust or dirt caught in it). as you can see, i've taken the extra step to protect the bumper with vinyl and swapped out the felt pads to rubber/foam.
do post updates, pic and tips/improvements if you have any to add! |

Magnets Finally came in last night. I plan on having the BRZ stach' painted to match the body so hopefully I can get some body shop time in the next week or two ( along with some silver bits in the interior). I'll post some pics up when I have the time to get to it. BTW I did the through the hand test then went even further. They held through my wrist. These magnets are no joke.
