Out for a spin

Just freshly washed. Love her!

I need a slight drop and spacers pronto.

Are Eibach springs the gold standard these days for a decent drop without compromising ride quality?

Finally decided to get rid on my front license plate. Being in VA, I might get the Sto N Sho one for emergency use. Anyone else have it? Hopefully it does not interfere with the sensor in front…It took around 2 hours to plug the screw holes and paint the bumper.

Looks way better! I hate front plates.

Do VA cops actively ticket for no front plate? I’m in WA which requires front plates, I haven’t had one mounted in 15 years, never had an issue.

They might, but I see a lot of cars without front plates so I suppose it’s worth the risk. I’ll carry my license plate around and first time I get a ticket, I’ll say I just fixed my front bumper and haven’t gotten around to putting it back…or some other such excuse ��

Yeah, haven’t had them for 20 years. 3 cars now without and never been stopped.

Thought I'd join in, as I've recently been posting about issues!

Sage-ish green wrap, black wheels and bodykit bits.... bit silly, but the combo all seems to work... just a pity about the current rough-idle when cold!
