front plate?

i realize i am going to hook up the front plates so i dont get hassled by the po po . but i noticed i cant cause the car doesnt have the correct hook up for the front. why is that? shouldnt the dealership give me the hook up for free?

You could drill some holes that was my first guess. Other options:

-http://www.hiperform.com/subaru_wrx.htm

-http://www.takakaira.com/asp/templat...KkGhHhceDfbiEd

-An evo plate holder (off to the side)

-Some Auto parts store have them like Kragen, Autozone maybe Autobacs but I don't know which for sure.

Serious question: did you scroll down the page? (People usually don't realize there is more on that page)

Put these pieces in the existing holes:


Bolt/screw in the plate into the tapped holes:


Another shot of the Aluminum pieces:

Well I believe the holes on our cars are for a Japanese plate and you either need to drill holes in your bumper or do one of the options above. I run no front plate so I have no real recomendation to which is best.

Ha, the phrase is "They should give you those" but they do not nor do I believe they are obligated in any way to provide something. So basically we are on our own
