- The BEST CHEAP License Plate Relocation Kit Install | 2015+ Subaru WRX & STI
This is the best cheap license plate relocation kit for the 2015+ Subaru WRX or STI. Honestly a great option to throw on your 2020 or 2021 WRX too.

I was sick of my Perrin Front License Plate relocation or relocator kit, and swapped it out with this kit. So this is a removal and install.
The Grimmspeed front plate relocation kit is also a great option for your Subaru WRX, just more expensive!
Odd you were having issues with the Perrin one. We've sold hundreds and haven't run into that issue before. I would have suggested contacting them to see if they would have provided any tips or possibly replaced it. Always worth a shot to check with the manufacturer before calling it quits.
Thanks for the comment as always! If I had bought it from them I definitely would have reached out prior to making the change. The previous owner of my WRX bought the Perrin kit so I am sure you can understand, I didn't want to bother them with a low cost second owned part. It's funny, I have seen tons of Perrin Kits on WRX's, most of them amazing, but I am number 4 so far with the same issue (at least from what I have seen in person). It was either put 3 thin rubber washers on it and crank down or get something cheap that held. I tried the washers and it was a game of tightening enough to make it lock, and not overtightening to them make it lock at an angle. I tried it enough and decided to make another video lol.
@@AutoEnthusiast I asked our support team and no one fessed up to hearing of similar issues so either we've been lucky or our customers are going straight to Perrin. Either way, it's on their radar in case it comes up. 👍
Using a monkey wrench there is the reason
Glad I found this, 80+ for a relocation kit was sort of insane to me. 50 bucks saved.
I have the exact same one on my wrx and it works great! Perfect cheaper alternative to Perrin
Nice! Yeah easy to install, holds up, can't ask for much more.
What is this called? I don’t see the link in the description. Thanks.
It looks like a rip off of the Grimmspeed kit, and they even plagiarized the item description from the Grimmspeed pages.
Did you try blue lock tight . On the treads? I know they don't but Perrin should supply a small tube when purchased.
Always use it on high vibration area's
I cannot find a phone mount that will stick to the 2022 -. Very frustrating.
Also, possibly videos on all of the light overlays ! 😊👍
Have the same issue here, mines pretty loose too. Going to do what Subiespeed suggested.
Interesting. I even searched our inbox to see if I could find people complaining about this and came up empty-handed. Let us know what you come with.
@@SubiSpeed I have a 2020 wrx so I thought maybe it was just with my year. In my case it seems like the rod is almost too short. It’s loose because I have to leave it partially unscrewed even with washers because the rod will sink in too much to the point that the plate won’t screw on.
^I had the same problem installing the kit on a subscribers car, he had a 2020, and I am convinced they sent a kit with the wrong length rod. I am not as familiar with thread changes on the 2019, 2020 and if there were thread depth changes or bumper deflection height changes. I just added a female/male extender and now his sticks out maybe a 1/3" farther than likely intended.
Same problem. I ended up just going to the hardware store and buying a longer 7/16"-20 bolt and a solid spacer so I can torque everything to spec. Otherwise the mount rubs my bumper. With everything torqued to spec I don't have any losening issues. Dumb that for $80 you have to hack it to work..
It says it doesn't fit my 2020 sti though, weird
I posted a couple of links, it is all about the bumper and distance the arm needs to go. I believe you are fine with the 2018+. Don't quote me on it, but you can message the seller to verify.
I just got the 21’ and I’ve not find a relocator kit for my year
Jxr performance! I promise it fits!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Sick vid! Quick question, on a wrx cvt, what can I do to go louder other then after a muffler delete that I’ve already done? Like what could be the next step to be louder if I can?
full catback that is non-resonated. But, that is just for volume. Sounds better with a res in my opinion, doesn't cut out too much sound.
Thanks man
I just got this kit because you recommended it and I’m about to put it on but I noticed there was a big washer that you didn’t use that came along with the kit what’s the big washer used for?
I bought a universal mounting kit. Trying to remove it and I cannot get it off. Any suggestions?
where he get that WRX plate for the front?
Jxr Performance
Not sure why I waited so long to get this instead of Perrins
can anyone confirm is the kits for 2015+ work with 2021 wrx?
check out JXR Performance. There is a shorter kit for the 15-17, and then the kits for the 18+ have a longer rod.
Glad I found this video! Just ordered using your discount code. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just ordered this thanks to your video it’s awesome and made a difference for sure
So I ordered this one for my '21 STi and there's about 2 inches that sticks out. I'm guessing the bumpers are slightly different than the WRX's
Nope! They are the same, that is the typical clearance. Bumpers are the exact same, but most people in the community don't like to run them tight, actually no one ever does (not to say you shouldnt lol). There are also some clearance rules in some states (I think), and having it clear the bumper is the safer bet. But in all honestly, it's been decades of people wanting them further off the bumper to gain the effect of depth perception and not have the "wrapping" look or warped look.
@@AutoEnthusiast Thank you! I appreciate the insights.
Have it. Like it.
I roll with no front plate. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I wish I could lol
How does this do in car washes?
To be more specific automatic car washes
Another thang for the content suggestions, I would just say more car parts videos, if you can do some sick pulls, cinematic clips
But yeah man I’m here for ya and I’m glad to see enthusiastic you are!
Noted! Yeah most part installs seem to flop lol.
Where’s the link
JXR Performance!
I've had three Perrin plate relocaters. They worked perfectly. You must have missed a step. The problem with cheap parts from Amazon are made in China. I'd rather support "Made in the USA" especially during the pandemic.
