Uncompromising Attention to Detail: fcl. to Include Anti-Theft Bolts as Standard

WiNEEDS HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minami-ku, Hiroshima; President: Masashi Oda), which operates the custom parts specialty store 'fcl.', is updating the accessories for its flagship product, the 'Work Light Stay (Number Plate Stay).' Reflecting user feedback, the company will begin providing special anti-theft and anti-loosening number lock bolts as standard equipment across all units starting in late March 2026.

Development Origin: A Word from a Monitor at an Off-site Meeting This bolt update was sparked by a comment from a monitor at an off-site meeting: 'I am satisfied with the customization, but I feel uneasy because the bolts sometimes loosen due to vibrations while driving.' Even if it is just a single small screw, if the customer feels uneasy, it should be improved. With that thought, the selection and development of the ideal bolt began.

'Sincere Specifications' Beyond Standard Accessories To prevent detachment due to vibrations while driving, fcl. has applied an anti-loosening agent with exquisite strength that prevents loosening but allows removal during maintenance. Furthermore, considering recent license plate theft, we have adopted 'pin-in-6-lobe (hexalobular) bolts' that are difficult to remove with standard tools.

Additionally, we have packed in user-focused details not found in other companies' products, such as iron trivalent chromate rust-prevention treatment to maintain beauty even after long-term use, and a '4-piece' package considering potential loss or vehicle uniformity.

Target Products and Specification Change Details The specification change applies to fcl.'s 'Work Light Stay (Number Plate Stay).' Anti-theft/anti-loosening bolts and dedicated tools will now be included in all sets. This transition will take place simultaneously from late March 2026.

Information on Sales Channels This renewal will be rolled out at the following online shops: Official Site, Amazon, Rakuten Ichiba, and Yahoo! Shopping. fcl. will continue to listen to drivers and create sincere products that embody 'trust' in every small part.
