Nice day out. I needed a wash. Notice the chrome license plate frame, just got it on eBay...it really is inexpensive and really adds to the back of the Q, with the logo right above it. Getting the one for the front in a day or two hopefully.

Hot as hell - I love the RPM 505's...

Now, get rid of the dealer sticker on the trunklid!

p.s. I used to live in Plymouth and Sagamore Beach - I could see the Bourne Bridge, P-Town and the Bay from my room.

WOW. I just bought my first house in Brewster. I got a great deal on a foreclosure and managed to steal it from the bank! Lovely place the Cape...

Damn dealer put it on there...I've heard it's best to use a hair dryer or a heatgun. The thought of putting a heat gun NEAR my Q's paint is very scary.

Eh, just peel it off with your fingernail and use some goo-gone, carbcleaner or WD40 to remove the residue.

Yeah, the Cape is gorgeous, I miss our place. Dad worked at White Horse Beach, and we lived right near downtown Plymouth for a while.

This picture has a National Geographic feel to it, like you're trying to get a shot of a dangerous but exotic animal.

I think you could use a little more tire.... But thats just my opinon.

Car looks really good though..... Probably ought to resize that sig picture a little bit.

Yeah, please. If you can't, maybe just link to the image.

The car looks good, the more I see Y33's the more I realize, I will be making the change when the time comes. The fender gap would be less noticeable if the camera POV was above the waiste-line or even above the roofline.

LOL! I had spent like 25 mins trying to figure out how to resize the images, upload them to photobucket, and link them all up....I had a correctly shaped sig, and then screwed it up by accident and must have put a full-size one up. Pretty damned astute that you all just honed in on that right away (within 45 mins)...NICO addicts, eh? Fixing....

I think the Q's are pretty dangerous and exotic!

Nice looking AE Q45!

However, please consider lowering springs. There was one photo where your car had the "4 x 4 look"...

Yeah, your Q looks great. You don't need any more tire, just need to go down a couple inches!!

Amazing. I'll agree with everyone else, it needs a drop. Your car reminds me why I tried selling mine for months.

not quite sure what you mean...

I'd love to lower it...I really would. But it's my daily and I drive about 50k/year, sometimes on roads that aren't so great, and I can't bear the thought of banging this thing up, and bought it for its smooth ride. I would really have to ride in a lowered Q first, before I bought in to the "comparable" ride quality.
