Just the angle plus his front plate is missing where you have one and blocks it out a little

I'm surprised I haven't ever been bothered for not having a front plate though

Ok, i will see if I can find some reviews on installing them.

I found out the et22 version of the Avant grads are more concaved and would love to make them work. This guy has the exact wheels with the h&r springs and I feel his drop and flushness are peeerrrffect.

I run a front plate after 2 warnings. It just draws attention to other things I am doing wrong.

Man I got so many tickets in the city for no front plate on my MB AMG 350SLK cuz it looked terrible with a plate on the nose, the meter maids can write it too, and a cop just going by. But if you dont park in city a lot at meters, I was never just pulled over and hassled, alsways when meter maid came by, so I could of been legal on the time, and illegal on the plates, and also then they ck city sticker, so potentially thats a $300 gift to city, found out hard way...

raceblood are those red pinstripes on the side of your car?

RaceBlood · 03-17-2011, 10:17 PM

I was thinking about spacers, 15M rear and 10M front, but who will really notice? Maybe If a I find them on sale/ebay and a bargain...

yes, red pinstripes, I guess I am old school and they actually work on the lines a lot, in person, the car looks even looonnngggeeerrrrr

UdubBadger · 03-17-2011, 10:19 PM
