sungrabNYC Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 hey there, I am looking to relocate my license for my 2016 subaru legacy. At the moment I have zip tied it to my lower grille. I am not sure it will hold tight as the snow might make it fall apart. I also noticed the it is partially blocking my active grille shutter. I know that our cars don't have front screw in tow-hook. I wanna buy an aftermarket kit to relocate it else where. If anyone have any sugguestions.. Please let me know thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieGT Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I had one custom made by a friend in my state.. Drilled into my metal bumper support for a mount and ran a flat metal piece through the lower vent and had it mount there. It give me the exact look I was going for, which was the tow hook style mounts the WRX has. Here's some pictures below from different angles. (The black piece on top of the plate is not part of the mount, but my external EZ Pass sensor.) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/ff75c031352a0ded30b8091c3dbcaf45.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/d53c45f7202a4044a787acdfc3b957e9.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/4da596306e9be45c58e613132ae25ef5.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161020/e3523241f2b6306d8f0a75ad5a8cb3f2.jpg Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2oiroc Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Why do you want it off to the side? Right in the center looks far better than off to the side at an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I agree with the center mount, but this is better than drilling into a brand new bumper..I've been searching for an alternative way to mount it and came across this thread Why do you want it off to the side? Right in the center looks far better than off to the side at an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel4982 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Do you guys know if behind our bumper has the spot for the tow hook? Like if there was a hole in our bumper, is there a place to screw in the tow hook? I've taken my bumper off a few times and never bothered to look.

The outback has a front one though.

RobbieGT Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Offset plate looks better in my opinion. Mimics the front plate mounts they make for the wrx/sti. Mine is essentially a metal bar bolted into the bumper support, which comes through the lower grill. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Roo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Sunday funday over here. A license plate is a tax stamp. IMO, displaying it directly in the center of your cars face looks ugly. If it has to be on, I think offset makes it look more aggressive. Especially with the dark grill Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
