I have a white 2018 Subaru STI and I live in a state that requires front plates (WA). I am having trouble deciding between the two plate relocators and was hoping y'all would have some advice on what way to go.Here are links to both products:I like Perrin more as a brand however from the pictures I've seen online it looks as the Perrin plate relocator is angled a lot on some pictures and on others it looks relatively parallel to the bumper. I really like how the Grimmspeed is parallel to the bumper but am not a big fan of the design of the actual mount. Any input is appreciated, thanks!(Edited Formatting). I have the Perrin for my 2018. It’s at a slight angle, maybe parallel to the bumper at the tow hook location (which is itself angled).
2018 WRX and Grimmspeed License Plate Relocation Kit submitted 1 year ago by ColickyFlowers Hi all, just wanted to share what I did to get the Grimmspeed Plate relocation kit to work on my 2018. PERRIN's plate mount attaches to the bumper through the front tow hook on your Subaru. This tow hook mount supports the plate with our the need of any screws or fasteners which require holes in your bumper. CONTOURED TO BUMPER. The PERRIN plate frame is contoured to the bumper angle giving your plate equal spacing along the edge of your bumper.
Let me find a pic.There is a new 2018 version specifically for the slightly thicker bumper that does not rub, reports of rubbing usually comes from people that accidentally bought the “2015-2017” version.Comes with tons of washers, I’m only using around 2 of 6 and that’s because I’d like to be able to take it off without the license plate screws hitting the bumper when I rotate it.Love the design. Can’t speak to the Grimmspeed tho.Edit: Here’s closeups of a few angles.
