savethewagons Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting my s402 front bumper installed and have been trying to figure out what to do with the license plate holes. Filling the holes isn't an option because the bumper comes with a rectangular bump out for the license plate to mount to. I have been looking at license plate delete kits from Perrin and grimmspeed, but I'm not sure which kits will mount nicely in the rectangular bump out on the bumper. Do any of my jdm folks have some advice on a kit to use? Thanks in advance, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savethewagons Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 See the rectangular license plate bump out in the center? See the following link for an example of license plate delete I was referring to http://www.autocityimports.com/0509-subaru-legacy-gt-perrin-license-plate-delete-p-18877.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 On mine im running the plate using Bolts, nuts, and washers. If youre going to delete the plate just have a body shop smooth it over. Looks much better that way. Where did you get your fenders from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenders came from our good friend Randy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Brett Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you need paint/body work, a solution may be to actually delete the mounting points, rather than a delete cover plate. You do realize that an S402 bumper won't work on a USDM car unless you have JDM fenders, grille and headlights, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't believe USDM plate deletes will work. The Spacing on the bumper does not line up with the plates so im assuming it wont line up with the delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Not gunna quote because there's a lot to quote but savethewagons since you are getting the bumper repainted and want to not run a front plate it's worth the extra money and time in bodywork for them to shave the rectangular part and shape the bumper rather than running a "plate delete kit" those are the cheesiest waste of money I've ever seen. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNfEk Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone sell a bolt on rear support Beam for the JDM bumper cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleylegacy Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone sell a bolt on rear support Beam for the JDM bumper cover? There is no such thing. The only thing that could be close to doing that is the Laile Beatrush rear support bar. Possibly the EDM Legacy rear support beam could work however I'm not aware of anyone who has done this that can verify if it works with the JDM Bumper cover. The reason the JDM rear bumper doesn't have a support beam is due to the lower crash standards in Japan.

I can't believe no one tried to make one. I'll need one of these for sure. Japan parts says this is only for a wagon? Are then interchangeable?

iNfEk Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 RSD says that it fits both wagon and sedan. Looks like I'll need to modify the Bumper stay brackets to fit it though. Are the wagon and sedan support bracket the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone sell a bolt on rear support Beam for the JDM bumper cover? Im not sure if it will work but when I put the JDM bumper on my Outback XT which was shorter I used the Sedan bumper beam and mounting brackets. It worked perfect.

WRX USA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's because the honeycomb looks best. If you want to be different I think this one is way nicer: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/248226540 Yes, I have an S402 honeycomb style grille so I'm biased but I also have the same Outback grille and this other one.
