I'll look into making my own then. I want to make one that's quickly detachable for car shows, haha :D

Ebay my man! $14 bracket - just drilled a couple of holes and bolted her in.

I already have two little threaded hole brackets behind the lower grill where the current plate holder mounts to. I'll design and build a sheet metal bracket that utilizes those exisiting holes. The only problem is they sit at an awkward 35 degree angle, so I'll have to put a twist in my bracket so the plate is not facing down, lol

Another problem i'm facing is the bumper damage from the old bracket. There's only 1 hole in the bumper for the bracket itself, which is easy to patch with a painted plug, but there is also a couple marks where the screws that hold the actual plate to the holder have chewed into the bumper. Whoever put the plate holder on used screws that were a bit too long and sharp.

I wonder if theres any cheap body filler for tiny little pits like that, cuz they bother me a lot more than the bolt hole and I don't want to completely fill and sand my bumper.

I know! It's near impossible to find one around here :( I need to roll my rear fenders too so I can slap some spacers in and fix the camber a bit.

Also, I'm on TEIN Type Flex Coils with EDFC :)

Did you have fun getting out of that loading dock? lol

I'd imagine it would've been even harder to get into that spot...

I dig the bikini-clad female model next to your car. :rockon:

Getting in and out of the bottom wasn't much of a problem...banged the muffler a little but that's it...now the top of the ramp...that's another story. It's just as narrow, and it dips as you come out to allow water to drain into a grate at the top...I'll have to get my hands on the video of the horrible screeching sound it made as I dragged the car on the exhaust up the ramp lol :P

Eyelids, 5mm rear spacers, matte wrapped roof! (Yes, I know you can't see the roof; it looks good, ok?)!

Damn that looks good.
But still not a fan of the HFP side skirts.

Thanks! I also forgot to mention that the windows are tinted as of two weeks ago :)

I'm seriously considering wrapping the whole car in the flat charcoal that I did the roof in...I"m starting with the center of the hood and the trunk, to go with the roof, and then slowly doing the rest of the car (front fenders, rear bumper, front bumper, then the rest). What do you think about that idea?
