Description
The Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit (MMLP-WRX-22) is a direct-fit solution built specifically for the 2022+ Subaru WRX and 2018+ Subaru Crosstrek, moving the front license plate off the center of the bumper and onto the OEM front tow hook mount. It pairs an anodized black aluminum shaft with a powder coated black mounting bracket, angled to follow the bumper’s factory body lines instead of covering them up.
Relocating the front plate does more than clean up the nose of your WRX or Crosstrek — it clears the center of the bumper so air can reach the radiator and FMIC instead of being blocked by a slab of embossed metal. Because the bracket bolts straight to the factory tow hook threading, there’s no need to drill new holes into the bumper fascia, and the whole kit is engineered to install in under 15 minutes with the hardware Mishimoto includes in the box, right down to the stainless-steel license plate screws. Every Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit is backed by the company’s Lifetime Warranty.
