- ✔ IMPROVE THE LOOK OF YOUR SUBARU OR SCION: This is not a one size fits all. We tested hundreds of configurations on vehicle models to fit the exact model of your Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S (2012-2021). The Platypus fits your bumper like it was meant to be there.
- ✔ EASY TO REMOVE: This updated version of the Platypus has a key-hole feature in the backplate that makes it very easy to remove without having to take your license plate off, leaving no trace that it was ever there.
- ✔ NO DRILLING, NO RISKS: The Platypus utilizes the existing tow eye in your bumper, so you do not have to drill any holes in your new car. This method of installing the front plate is common and legal in all states that require front license plates.
- ✔ BUILT TO LAST FOREVER: The Platypus plate is machined from 6061 aluminum with a durable black powder-coat finish that will not rust, fade, or bend.
- ✔ MADE IN USA: Each Platypus is made here in the US of A. They are machined and powder-coated in good ol' Portland, OR. Even the boxes are made here!

You'll need to get a tow hook plate mount like this one if you want to mount the plate there instead of the bumper. You can buy one from multiple online retailers.
If you go that route, be sure to tell the dealer not to drill the bumper and bring the mount and any necessary tools with you when you pick up up the car. Depending on your state's laws the dealer may not let you leave with the car without the front plate mounted.
My dealer wouldn't install the tow hook mount for me, but did honor my request that they not drill my bumper as long as I installed the plate before I drove off.

As far as if you need a front plate, do 90% of the vehicles on the road have a front plate? If so you need one too. The 10% either are gambling with a ticket or just don't know any better. A quick google brought this up:
