Description
The Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit (MMLP-GRC-23) tackles a problem unique to the 2023-2024 Toyota GR Corolla: a front license plate mounted dead-center in the grille, choking off airflow to the radiator and adding wind resistance. Machined from 6061-aluminum and finished in anodized and powder-coated black, this kit relocates the plate off to the side, angled to follow the bumper’s factory contours, so the front of your GR Corolla can breathe again.
Beyond restoring airflow, this License Plate Relocation Kit is built to bolt directly to the OEM front tow hook location, meaning there’s no drilling, no permanent bumper modification, and no guesswork during install. The kit ships complete with all necessary mounting hardware, including stainless-steel license plate screws, so you can go from grille-mounted plate to side-mounted plate in a single sitting. It’s a small change with a real payoff: better airflow to the radiator, reduced drag, and a cleaner front-end look that doesn’t sacrifice function for style.
