This Perrin license plate holder is specifically designed for 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX and STI models. It offers several outstanding features. Firstly, it improves airflow to the radiator by creating an unobstructed path, which helps in better engine cooling. It's designed to be mounted in the factory tow hook location. The mounting stem is made of CNC - machined aluminum and has an anodized finish, while the license plate bracket is also aluminum with an anodized finish. This construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance. Installation is a breeze, taking only about 15 minutes with the included installation guide. Inside the box, you'll find a PERRIN license plate relocate holder, a relocate stem, various screws, washers, a hex head bolt, a short - arm hex key, an anti - seize grease packet, a PERRIN license plate frame, and warranty & instructions. The license plate holder is crafted from thick plate aluminum, folded to add rigidity and prevent flexing, unlike competitive parts. It has a texture powder - coated wrinkle black finish. The tow hook adapter is CNC - machined hex - cut bar stock anodized black for enhanced corrosion protection.
Using your Perrin license plate holder is simple. First, find the factory tow hook location on your 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX or STI. Then, take the included PERRIN license plate relocate stem and mount it in that location. Next, attach the license plate holder to the stem using the provided screws and washers. Make sure to use the anti - seize grease on the bolts to prevent them from seizing up. You can then install your license plate on the holder. When it comes to maintenance, periodically check the screws and bolts to ensure they're tight. You can clean the license plate holder and the stem with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the anodized finish. Also, keep an eye on the corrosion - resistant coating. If you notice any signs of wear, it's a good idea to have it checked or recoated to maintain its protection.
