Matthew,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Subaru OEM STI Euro-Style Marque Plate Delete Matte Black with WRX Logo! It sounds like the sleek design might require longer screws if you are using stick-on bushings. Dealerships sometimes provide different or specific hardware, so using longer screws might indeed help with the installation. It is a perfect way of covering your license plate location when not running one or after using a relocation kit! Thank you for your 5 Star Review!
Regards,
