Clear Airflow to the Intercooler by Moving the Front Plate Out of the Way
The stock front license plate mount on the Focus RS sits directly in front of the intake opening, restricting airflow to the intercooler and intake system exactly where it matters most. The GrimmSpeed License Plate Relocation Kit moves the front plate off to the side, opening up that central intake path for better airflow. It’s a simple bolt-on solution for Focus RS owners who want to maximize cooling and intake performance without giving up their front plate entirely.
