Looks good.

I'd remove the front plate, lower it, and fix the bumper gap (shouldn't be too hard).

hehe, i would really love to take the plate off but my insurance is high enough as it is.

I don't need another expense with tickets. =)

As far as the gapping goes, the reason why its that lifted is cause the hood isn't closed all the way.

Usually you don't even see the gap.

Technically lack of a plate is only a fix-it ticket. It's not a moving violation.

Perhaps in NY that might be different, however.

No no, im not saying that its gonna raise my insurance. But I still have to pay for the ticket, which here I believe is a nice $50-$65.

Nassau county is in dept, and they have no problem writing up tickets. =P

You'd be surprised at how quickly they overlook this sort of thing on an FD. Being that the car looks natural without the plate, most cops just don't notice it being gone.

hehe, not nassau cops.

Honestly, some are cool, but most are dicks. I've seen people get pulled over way to many times because of no plates.

To me its one of those stupid things not to mess with. =P

It looks nice. Thats not the factory plate holder is it? I hope not, cus the one I got (still not on ) is a piece of crap, little metal thing. That looks like its formed to the bumper.

Nah, they are 16's.
And I am going to lower it.....eventually. =P.

Currently broke as hell and something came up which seriously just drained my bank.

I mean, I can barely pay for gas at this point. =(.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe the HA Coil's once I get my **** back together.

Oh, and about the air fresher, hehe I replaced it with a foot. I think it looks better. =)

Where did you get that front plate holder ?
It looks nice.

I need one also. Currently I have a sticker made out as a license plate (its also made out of reflective material as original plate).
