Well peeps to start out, if you’re not inclined to measure and use a drill, just buy the plate with the pre-drilled holes. I bought the undrilled version, but my plan went to crap, so I knew I should have bought the 7 inch drilled plate. Plus the plate isn’t like exactly 12 inch. With my piss poor math skills and winging it with my drill, I was only off by about 2mm. Not terrible but I’m sure whatever jig Billetworkz has is far my accurate.
I have a 2014 FRS and I bought a license plate relocation kit. There holes where the license plate bracket are was ugly and noticeable. So I thought I would drill out the holes to 10ish inches on the plate and bam, done… Well I didn’t account for the curvature of the bumper. So I had to poorly fabricate a bracket from the original plastic license plate bracket with a Dremel to hold the plate. My work isn’t terrible considering I’m a dope.
The original bolts that hold the license plate on will NOT work. I think the pitch is M6x1.0 if I’m not mistaken. I of course bought too big of bolts so I tried to cut the bolts at the end without hitting the bracket. I succeeded, but only to tighten the bolts right into my bumper. Oh well. The thing is on at least.
I was going to leave the bolts the original color, but my eye kept going to the bolts and not the words. I bought universal black touch-up paint and carefully painted what I felt comfortable painting. I think now, considering, it looks much nicer.
The plate itself is very nice and says the word that is our lord and savior, boobies. No complaints about the plate. Would buy again even if I had to go through all the pain again, minus the drilling. Learned my mistake.
