Subaru Front License Plate Bracket SOA342L171 — OEM fit for Outback, Impreza, Forester; rubber bushings

If you need a factory-fit front plate solution that maintains your bumper's finish and limits vibration, this Subaru OEM bracket is built for that purpose. It installs where the two small dimples on the bumper line up and uses supplied hardware and rubber bushings to keep the plate slightly offset from the surface, avoiding rub marks and noise.

How is this bracket installed and will it damage my bumper?

Installation requires drilling new mounting holes at the bumper’s dimple locations; it does not use the square factory holes found on some models. The kit includes fasteners and instructions to guide the process, and rubber bushings keep the plate off the bumper to reduce abrasion.

• Mounts at the factory dimple marks on the front bumper
• New holes are required — follow instructions for correct positioning
• Includes attachment kit and step-by-step directions
• Rubber bushings prevent vibration and protect paint

What materials and features does this OEM bracket offer?

This is a genuine Subaru component made to the manufacturer’s standards for fit and finish. It’s designed to match factory mounting points and to provide a stable, low-profile mount for your license plate while protecting the bumper surface.

• Factory-spec bracket engineered by Subaru
• Supplied with hardware and installation instructions
• Rubber bushings for plate clearance and reduced vibration
• Durable construction compatible with OEM bumper contours

Will this interfere with sensors or grille openings?

Because the bracket mounts in the center front bumper using the dimple marks, it is intended to avoid interfering with most sensors and airflow openings. However, verify exact sensor and accessory locations on your specific model year before drilling.

• Designed to sit flush with bumper profile while offsetting plate
• Check proximity to parking sensors or optional front accessories
• Follow Subaru instructions for correct placement to avoid interference
