Sioux-BRue Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Besides just screwing the license plate front & center onto the front bumper cover, leaving the edges exposed, is there a decent way to mount a new plate that will keep it straight and decent-looking (and legal in the states that require it)?

tito_b0y Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Unfortunately, here in NJ, it's required by law to have both front AND rear plates on at all times. Retarded, I know. 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Same with VA. But if you're running away from the cops, it's easier to hide the plate with that gadget I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-BRue Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Might make a good skid plate too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's required here in WI too, but I took mine off since only about 1/2 the cars on the road have a front license plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspeed98 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Isn't there a kit that will relocate it to an arm coming from front tow hook? Forgot where I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillboy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Not sure what year of car the OP has, but there are a variety of solutions that have been kicked around over the years. Mine is included in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bracket-license-plates-fronti-36433.html?t=36433&highlight=license+plate+bracket It is still ugly.

Adrenaline Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah the whole offset plate thing, does not appeal to me. Its illegal to not have a front one here in MN too, but its usually my first mod to a car to just remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspeed98 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 In this post? No, elsewhere. Mounted and detailed photos of how it is mounted and displayed on a legacy. Time permitting, I will check my bookmarks. On tablet now at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chutrain Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-1008/GrimmSpeed-License-Plate-Relocation/Detail Which FMIC is that? I'm going to be installing the RacerX, but may have issues with the piping blocking the bolt location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedraz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Might get this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-Legacy-Wagon-08-09-Front-License-Frame-Bracket-/300492518254#ht_1915wt_1185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the RacerX version. I grinded it down to make it fit without touching the piping. I just took it off to fix my headlights after months and months and no signs of rubbing.

soloz2 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 When I bought my car it had a plastic mount that fit well but I didn't like how it looked. When my car was in a minor accident and the front bumper had to be repainted I took it off. Since I already had holes I purchased the Subaru mount. It's just a metal plate with a couple spacers, but it looks good. I finished the look with a pair of Altec Autocross plate frames/lens.
