Using this Perrin License Plate Relocation Kit is easy. First, make sure your 2015 - 2017 Subaru WRX or STI has a front - mount intercooler installed. Locate the factory tow hook area where the kit is designed to be mounted. Take the mounting stem and attach it to the designated spot using the provided M6 button head socket cap screws and flat washers. Then, connect the license plate holder to the stem. Use the 7/16 hex head bolt and other necessary hardware as described in the installation guide. It should take about 15 minutes to install.
When it comes to maintenance, the anodized finish on the mounting stem and license plate bracket helps resist corrosion. However, it's a good idea to clean the kit regularly, especially if you drive in harsh conditions. You can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the aluminum parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Also, check the hardware periodically to ensure it's tight and there's no sign of loosening. If you notice any issues, refer to the warranty and instructions that come with the kit.
