GrimmSpeed Front License Plate Relocation Kit

Now that I live in a state that requires both front and rear license plates (a first for my Subaru BRZ) I needed a way to mount the front license plate.

The problem for me is that Subaru's solution is to drill holes into the bumper.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), ProClip Angled Mount & Adjustable Holder Install and Review

Waze is a wonderful application for navigation, knowing where traffic, accidents, and knowing where cops are. My wife and I use it a lot on road trips. But, being cell phone based it is negligent to use when it is not mounted somewhere that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. To this end I installed a cell phone holder.

In terms of places to put a phone the (more or less) stock interior of a BRZ does not have a lot of good places to put a phone and see the screen while looking out the windshield.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), JPM Coachworks Dash Panel Install

The Subaru BRZ is not exactly a very expensive car. Like most cars in its price range it comes with a fair amount of plastic as material in panels and so on. Personally I am not a big fan of the silver plastic in a lot of the places it is used especially on the two piece dash panel with the seam.

To alleviate / correct this I got a One Piece Dash Panel from JPM Coachworks (same company that made my knee pads).

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), JPM Coachworks Knee Pad Install

Cagalli Yula, my 2014 Subaru BRZ Limited, has one really annoying feature when you drive for long distances, especially if using cruise control. The knee pads where the dash and center console meet are hard plastic with very little give. If you're like me and you rest you knee against it, especially on long road trips while using cruise control, this is very uncomfortable.

Enter JPM Coachworks. They produce knee pads for the Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S / Toyota GT86 that are padded and come in optional leather or Alcantara with red stitching (which matches the seats). Also, apparently padded leather knee pads are either an option or standard in Japan.

All that said, I decided to write this up as an install guide as JPM Coachwords has not provided one yet.
