Hey Mnkyboy, i saw your ride where there's no license plate in the front, but 2 yellow plugs that fill those holes in. Do you or anyone else know where to get those? Cuz in Canada, BC at least, you need license plate in the front, but i was thinking of taking it off the bumper, fill in the holes and put it in the lower grill area, i think that looks nicer. Anyone know where i can get those fill-in's?

 

Noodles, something to think hard about....by covering the grill area you are effecting the air flow to your radiator....not really a good thing.

 

you can get little body plugs at pep boys and stuff. i got some in mine where my spoiler was.

Noodles, I found mine at Lowes, they are also at Home Depot, DIY all your home improvements stores. I also saw them at NAPA. If you have a hard time finding them in Canada E-mail me at DKBODDE@aol.com and I will ship you some. Whats a couple of bucks between Pro5-Friends.

I also agree with Sir Nuke about not wanting to cover the grill area but you can see what I did. I cut my plate down just to show the state and tag number/letters which my attorney says is legal here in the states.

hey DaveB..
pretty cool looking.... especially the front grill and front lip

that license plate mod looks nice too....
are there any other suggestions if I'm hesitant about cutting my plate up?

 

tttP5,
Before cutting your plate double check California is the same as Ohio (all you need is the tag numbers and state showing) I first photocopied my plate and cut the paper to see how it would look. Then I grabbed a pair of tin snips drilled a couple holes and mounted it. (do not over tighten) Mod was done three weeks ago and I haven't seen any change in engine temperature. Thanks for the compliments. DaveB

 

Hey Dave, thanx for the tips, i'll check out what the legalalities are here in BC and do something similar hehee. thanx!

btw, your car looks nice! i like the painted caliipers.

 

Man that is one sweet looking ride..........could u tell us how u got rid of the M in the top grill...........looks way better.

 

the trimming you did on the plate looks really good....pretty neat idea...looks like a custom job for sure!

the grill is from one of the kits...can't remember which one though....how about it Dave...which kit did this come from?

and it appears as though you have lowered your p-5. which springs did you use? and if so....where did you have it aligned afterwards, and was there any problems getting it in spec?

 

That looks like an autoexe grill !!!

where did you order your autexe upper grill? and bottom lip?

 

IMPACT,
Just as Raptor said. It is the Autoexe front grill, comes with fiberglass insert that you need to paint to match car plus the alum. grill mesh which I painted black.

Sir Nuke,
Must be the angle in which I took the Pic. because I haven't lower the car yet, but I am thinking of the Racing Beat springs approx. 3/4 " front and 7/8" rear drop but would love to get the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs 1.4 Front & 1.2 rear Drop, but I worry about rubbing the front lip on my 3" tall driveway curb. What do you guys think should I get my grinder out or what?

Mazdaistheshit,
I ordered my lip and grill in a group buy awhile back. I thought I was buying it from Rishie but I ended up getting it from Morris at Boom Plus Toys in Vancouver.

 

NO, don't get the grinder out....get some concrete and have a nice gradual ramp poured up to your driveway curb! DROP THAT BABY!! :{D

 

You should have PM me, i might have missed this thread . I bought some black plastic screws that are made for license plate frames at Walmart. They come with plastic caps, which I painted using some touch-up paint. It came out very well, I like the look

 

your avatar is so cute! where'd you get that!
