Inside the box, you'll find a PERRIN license plate relocate holder, a relocate stem, various screws, washers, a hex - head bolt, a short - arm hex key, an anti - seize grease packet, a PERRIN license plate frame, and warranty & instructions. The license plate holder is made of thick plate aluminum, folded to add rigidity and prevent flexing. It won't bend, flex, or rotate like competing products. It's laser - cut and texture powder - coated in a wrinkle black finish. The tow - hook adapter is CNC - machined from hex - cut bar stock and anodized black for better corrosion resistance.
Using your Perrin license plate holder is easy. First, find the factory tow - hook location on your 2018 - 2021 Subaru WRX or STI with a front - mount intercooler. Then, use the parts included in the box like the mounting stem and license plate bracket to attach the holder. The installation should take about 15 minutes as per the included guide. When it comes to maintenance, since the mounting stem and license plate bracket have an anodized finish and the tow - hook adapter is anodized black, they're quite resistant to corrosion. But it's still a good idea to clean them regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they could damage the finish. If you're tightening or loosening any of the screws or bolts, use the provided hex key to ensure proper fit. Keep the anti - seize grease packet handy in case you need to prevent parts from seizing up over time.
