Description
The Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit (MMLP-CTR-23) is a purpose-built bracket designed specifically for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type R FL5, moving the factory front license plate away from the spot that automakers chose but that interrupts the car’s clean front-end styling and can restrict airflow to the intercooler and radiator. Machined from durable 3mm-thick aluminum and finished in a black powder coat, it’s built to hold up to the elements while blending seamlessly with the Type R’s aggressive fascia.
Beyond looks, this relocation kit is about function: by repositioning the plate, it helps preserve unimpeded airflow through the cooling stack, which matters on a track-capable hot hatch like the Type R. The kit is a CNC-machined mounting solution that installs without cutting or drilling, and it comes complete with stainless steel hardware and a Mishimoto license plate frame so the finished look is as polished as the factory setup — just smarter about where it puts the plate.
