Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit
2022–2024 Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86
MMLP-BRZ-22
Overview:
The Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit is a precision-engineered solution designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. Front license plates, when mounted in the factory center position, can obstruct airflow to the radiator and increase aerodynamic drag. This kit relocates the front license plate to the side of the bumper, improving airflow and reducing wind resistance while maintaining a clean, factory-inspired appearance.
Ideal for enthusiasts who want to preserve optimal cooling performance and enhance the front-end aesthetics of their BRZ or GR86, this kit offers a direct-fit, no-drill installation that mounts securely to the OEM tow hook location. It’s a smart upgrade that balances form and function without compromising vehicle integrity.
Key Features:
Designed with both performance and style in mind, the Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit offers the following benefits:
- Relocates the front license plate from the center bumper to the side, freeing up airflow to the radiator
- Reduces aerodynamic drag by minimizing wind resistance caused by the centrally mounted plate
- Mounts directly to the OEM front tow hook location with no permanent modifications required
- Precision-engineered to hug the contours of the bumper for a seamless, factory-like appearance
- Constructed from high-strength 6061 aluminum with anodized and powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance
- Includes all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation process
- Installation can be completed in under 15 minutes with basic hand tools
- Backed by Mishimoto’s industry-leading lifetime warranty for peace of mind
Construction & Design:
The relocation bracket is crafted from premium 6061 aluminum, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The anodized and powder-coated finish not only enhances durability but also provides a sleek, matte black appearance that complements the aggressive styling of the BRZ and GR86 front bumper. The design contours precisely to the vehicle’s body lines, ensuring the license plate sits flush and angled to reduce aerodynamic drag while maintaining a clean look.
Mounting to the OEM tow hook point ensures a secure fit without the need for drilling or permanent modifications, preserving the vehicle’s factory integrity and resale value. This thoughtful engineering approach balances functionality with aesthetics, making it an ideal upgrade for both street and track use.
Installation & Fitment:

The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, allowing installation to be completed in under 15 minutes using common hand tools.
Relocating the license plate to the side improves airflow to the radiator, which can help maintain optimal engine temperatures during spirited driving or track sessions. The angled mounting position also reduces wind resistance compared to the factory center mount, contributing to improved aerodynamic efficiency.
What's Included:
