Cobb License Plate Relocation Mount - 2015-2022+ Subaru WRX / 13-22+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 & GR86 / 13-16 Scion FR-S

The COBB License Plate Relocation Mount is the clean, no-drill solution for running a front plate without putting holes in your bumper or blocking airflow to your cooling stack. Using the factory tow hook location as the mounting point, this kit installs easily and gives you multiple positioning options so you can dial in the look and clearance you want.

A multi-orientation backing plate adds adjustability, while durable, high-quality hardware keeps everything locked in place for the long haul. It’s also designed to play nicely with performance setups, including compatibility with COBB front mount intercooler kits.

Key Features

• No Drilling or Cutting Required: Uses the factory tow hook location to avoid permanent bumper modifications.
• Relocates Front Plate Off-Center: Keeps the plate away from the center grille opening to help preserve airflow.
• Adjustable Backing Plate: Multiple mounting orientations for improved fitment and positioning flexibility.
• Durable Hardware: High-quality hardware designed to stay secure for the life of the vehicle.
• FMIC Friendly: Compatible with COBB FMIC kits for a clean, functional front-end setup.

Why We Like It

If your state requires a front plate, this is the easiest way to stay legal without drilling your bumper cover. It also keeps the plate from sitting directly in front of the radiator and intercooler, which is especially important on cars that see spirited driving or track use.
