In this city a front plate IS a MUST.....or you get a $168 fine and maybe a vehicle inspection!
The good part was it went back on just as good...the second time!

Thanks Scoper,


Stacy

Looks great Stacy, but you need to paint the lower lip to complete the look.

If it was painted it surely would have been damaged already(first drive).A piece of 4ft tin flew up from under another car while crossing a bridge(doing hwy speeds) and slammed the front bumper....right into that lower plastic lip.If it was painted it would have been done!
PLUS it has already touched the ground twice going over bumps...
So it is going to stay unpainted......


Cheers,

Stacy

I'm sure that gave you a near heart attack. Glad it didn't contact the bumper itself!

I've thought about painting my lower lip and rockers as well but not worth it for reasons you've mentioned. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to paint it.

Silver
I just noticed that your wheels have Silver center caps. Now you should change Hoodcrest to Silver to match.

Oh, as one w/ a silver hood crest... you MUST get one ASAP - especially to tie in better w/ your wheels (you'll be thinking that every time you look at your car from now on LOL )

Keep your mod$ going

The gold one look GREAT with the gold wheels.....but you guys are right and I was eyeballing a silver crest some time ago(4 months ago) but I refuse to spend close to $274 for it at Bumper plugs!
Why don't you sell me yours for $50......With the savings I may be able to keep the "mods going".....
