Front License Plate on '04 Legacy Wagon?

[George]

2004 Subaru Legacy Wagon
How do I mount a license plate on the front?
Do I need a bracket?
If so, I hope someone can tell me the
Subaru part number for the bracket.

To reply directly to me, replace all 'z' with 'a' in email address.

There should be a bracket kit in the back in the tray over the spare tire.
That's where it was on mine.
The installation is pretty straightforward.

**** Thank you.
I am not with the car, but I need to have a frotn palte
put on it by someone else.
Some questions:
A. Was yours an '04?
B. In the tray there was a "tool" kit consisting of a reversible
screw driver (phillips/regular) and I think a wrench for (supposedly)
removing the lug nuts. That's all I remember.
C. What does it look like? How was it packaged? Was it in
a plastic bag etc.?

Thanks again for your help so far.

I just looked at my 04 Outback and the dealer has simply used a frame
and drilled self tapping screws into the bumper.
Since it is already done I think I'll leave it alone but I hope you find
a better way.
There isn't any bracket in the tire wll either.

Mine is the same way, self tapping screws strait into bumper. 2004 OBW

Good Luck

*** This doesn't seem very elegant to me.
I hope someone can tell me how Subaru meant this to be done.

Thanks.

Listen to the previous two responders, two screws straight into the bumper.

My '02 has two dimples on the front bumper where you are supposed to put
the self-tapping screws. I believe that is what is noted in the owner's
manual, as well. Might want to ask the dealer what the maximum length
is, if not denoted in your manual.
