Description
The CorkSport License Plate Relocation Kit is a great addition if you are looking for a mod that will improve the appearance of your CX-5. Not only will the CS License Plate Relocation Kit help with aesthetics, but it will also help with airflow to critical components such as the radiator and intercooler heat exchange if you have a turbo model. The kit includes a zinc coated steel tow hook screw that takes advantage of the factory tow hook location so installation is straightforward.
Additionally, it is paired with a stainless steel license plate bracket to securely hold the license plate that will also provide protection from corrosion in harsh weather conditions. The CorkSport Relocation Kit can be installed in almost no time and includes a 19mm wrench just in case you ever have to remove it quickly for any reason.

The CorkSport Advantage
Fitment:
Getting the optimal fitment for the CX-5 License Plate Relocation kit was key and that began with selecting the correct length for the tow hook screw. The tow hook screw is at a length in which it places the license plate bracket tight to the bumper, but still gives plenty of room to access the mounting bolt. We designed the stainless steel license plate bracket to have a slight angle so that it flows nicely with the angle of the bumper. It is also placed out of the way of any parking sensors so they will continue to function as usual. The license plate bracket also includes a quick detach feature so you only have to loosen the bolt a quarter turn to remove the bracket if need be.
Materials:
Selecting the correct materials was also a primary focus for the CS License Plate Relocation Kit. The tow hook screw that is responsible for holding the license plate bracket is made from steel that is then zinc coated to provide protection against corrosion in whatever environment you may find yourself in. For the license plate bracket we decided to go with 11 gauge 304 stainless steel to provide the strength needed to ensure that the license plate and bracket can’t flex or move around while driving at speed. Using stainless steel for the bracket also offers great corrosion resistance so that it will stay looking good for a long time to come.
Hardware and Accessories:
Included with the CS License Plate Relocation Kit is a stainless steel 19mm wrench that you can keep on your keys or in your glove box. We thought that this would be a convenient way of having the necessary tool on hand if you ever need to remove the license plate bracket. The wrench also features a bottle opener as an added bonus. The included hardware is all stainless steel and we have included tamper resistant screws that mount your license plate along with the necessary bit to install them.

The plate relocation for Mazda CX-5 from CorkSport is very well done and solid. The instructions are on the website and it is very well explained. The only hard part of the installation was the last part which was the wrenching since I used the one the CorkSport provided me. All in all it looks lit. Very Nice!!!

The CS license plate relocation kit is a great accessory to improve the look of your cx5. License plates on the grill just look dumb, this kit fixes that and in a stylish way. Instructions were easy to understand and install took maybe 20 minutes. It even comes with a handy install tool that doubles as a bottle opener, I have mine on my keychain. Definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to spruce up their cx5
