Simple assembly for the frame

After I had received a repair slip for the lack of a front panel, I started looking around for an affordable variant. I didn't want to drill holes in the front bumper, nor did I want to spend over $80 on a set of GrimmSpeed front license plates. This kit fits my 2019 Toyota 86 easily. Installation was easy but if you need a picture before trying it yourself just look it up on YouTube. Someone posted a video with instructions on how to install a Dewhel plate mount on a Subaru BRZ. The hex wrench

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • little things

Absolutely perfect on frame

New driver 86 here, got his car in January and love it. My brother recommended I get a license plate bracket for the hitch but he hooked me up to a Grim Speed bracket (he got his car back in 2013 so that was the only one available). Dollar. I saved a lot of money buying this one which does more or less the same job. - Very easy to install. The attachment is strong and rigid. Some may wonder if the mount reduces the vibrations caused by driving. So far that's a big no, but it doesn't hurt toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not sure

For those who need to run the front panels.

I don't like running front panels, especially when they are in the middle of the bumper. I bought this mount to comply with IL law. The attachment is perfect. It doesn't protrude and with a little manipulation sits fairly close to the bumper. The only downside to this is that the main bolt that holds the license plate bracket to the hitch bolt cannot be tightened enough. I didn't want to over tighten the screw. However, if enough force is applied, the license plate holder will rotate. I don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Excellent quality at a great price

So, my review after installing it a little over 3 months ago. First I installed it on my 2013 Scion FR-S and it fits as expected. During installation I used a small amount of anti-seize just as a test. I haven't had any problems moving the plate/bracket at all since installation except once. It was today that I met a deer traveling at about 45 miles an hour. Miraculously, it turned out that the place of impact was right in the license plate bracket.

2014 Subaru BRZ best framed

Bought for my girlfriend's 2014 Subaru BRZ and I will compare it to the Grimmspeed I have for my 2015 WRX. The tow bolt is aluminum and quite soft. Make sure you use some sort of lube before screwing it in (I used lithium grease). Once it came in I used the smaller aluminum adapter and made sure it fit snugly and snugly on the stud. I attached the plate holding the license plate with an Allen screw and made sure it was very, very tight. I took the paint off a bit but that doesn't matter as it's

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • No automatic

Update: My Tips for Success

I've had this for a few years, it was annoying because it turned at the slightest touch. Car washers always look confused. Aesthetically it stood out a bit BUT it was also a pro because when bad drivers backed into my car they were hit hard by the tow plate and my bumper came out unscathed. So for this reason I will buy it again. If you don't live in Chicago (or anywhere else with lots of parking), pay more for grimmspeed. My first took three years on my brz. (4 stars) Update: I bought it again

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Almost everything fits
