Welcome to Nico. It looks nice. But you have to do something with the front License plate. Ziptie ruins the whole front end. Other than that love it. Is it legal here to use a sticker license plate on the front. I've seen some high end cars in Europe like that. Not sure where they got them. Looked really good since it is looks like a license plate but it is only a sticker and you can put it on the bumper or whereever you need it. Probably not possible to get it or not legal.

thanks for the kind words as for the lincese plate, i had the bumper recently painted and i covered up the holes, i didnt want to drill holes into the bumper. im waiting to get either a stillen license plate bracket or a new frotn bumper, so for now the zip tie will have to do and im pretty sure it is illegal to use a sticker plate

lol whats wrong with it? i painted it green, maybe thats why :pits my favorite color, so i wanted to see how it would look on a grey car wid a black grill. to me, i dont look that bad. im going to change it to another color when it gets warmer ( i do it myself). still deciding what kinda theme i should do my car. originally iw anted to do it purple ( as u can see from my decal and side leds')

as for ny roads, its not that great for low cars. i wouldnt recommend anything over a 1.2 inch drop, or else the body will be destroyed (depending where u drive and how you drive).

Beautiful car!



What is the fine for no front plate? I would almost rather risk a ticket.

i believe the fine for no front plate is 98. i used to have a front lip (until it flew off) and i think it looked fine when it was resting on the lip:

In California you will get fix-it ticket (warning) 25 bucks if you fix it... if not.. I think about 125 - 150 bucks or something... I would think cheaper in the other states... becoz California is broke, state government overcharged people on everything!

Welcome to Nico!

NC just passed a law. Obstruction of the STATE or stickers by a frame will cost you $100.

I also liked the rims in the first pics.
