Totsubo license plate mount
Hi guys I'm currently a new owner of a DGM 13 wrx hatch and my dealer did not drill the holes into the bumper for me. Currently I have the front plates hanging out in my right side windshield. I have tried ordering the totsubo's off southcoast but have been unable to accept my payment I have also tried calling them. Does anyone have an extra set for sale ?

I dont understand the stigma against drilling 2 holes next to two pre-existing holes to mount a permanent fixture to the car.

I do have a red plate, and yes, I've been driving around "illegally" I haven't gotten stopped for it yet though. When I do get stopped, I'll gladly put one on. I was thinking about getting a grimmspeed bracket and doing it anyways.

I had to call southcoast and I think it wasn't the first number I found that worked.
Also I had to remove a few threads from the bumper mount screws so it wouldn't squeak constantly. |

there's a hideous, gigantic bumpout on the front bumper for a front license plate, and you're concerned about 2 holes that will be covered? it's along the same lines of the people who buy a "license plate delete" and a plate relocation kit. Do you really think your car looks better with a black plate in the center of your car, and a license plate that's flimsy, low, and offset from where it looks most natural? the front bumper on subies has a bumpout for a license plate. Put it there. |

Any issues with that set up so far? I'll prolly put some foam strips behind my plate so it doesn't scratch the bumper. |

Right, it tightens up and is solid. It has been mounted like this for a few months now and is still tight as day 1. Instead of foam strips, consider double sided tape, same effect with the addition of a little adhesion

Found another place that says they carry the Totsubo plates.
I'm probably sticking with the Grimspeed since I think I'm eventually gonna go with a FMIC |

Put screws through the holes in the plate so they grab bumper.
