Other than being BLACK.... it is a good looking car..

Is there a reason your license plate is mounted on the side?? It really throws the symetry off.....

I think a more productive day would be spent studying.

Seriously, it looks nice and while not the kind of mod I would make, it will fit in nicely at the shore.

Jason,

Nice job of "makin' her your own."

I've been conservative with my car. Only painted the lower grill silver with black centers on the "fake grill" part. I might do more, but I already spend way too much $$$$ on buying what my wife calls "DO-Dads" for my Harley! If I try to suggest the same for the CrossFire she asks me if I really NEED it for the car. Hehehehe. I tell her I never used the word need. It's not about need is it? "Want" works fine for me!

Tom

you know you should listen to the "old" guys. Your car will roll over if you mount the license plate on the side like that. But the grille and eyelids look good. There is the "hidden" license plate mod as well. Check that baby out. Don't know why states seem to think they need plates on both ends of the car...they can see when they are pulling you over.....lol

just saw a video of that hide-away plate on a 350z and i must say that it would look astonishing on a crossfire thanks for the info on that, and i just ordered the bottom chrome mesh grille insert things to really make it pop

ps. thanks for not ripping me apart about the license plate like i thought so many of you were going to do

The best place to mount the front license plate is in the trash can

You guys will love this one. Vermont DMV decides we still need a front license plate but in order to save money, they only issue one renewal tag, for the back. So the law says we drive around with an expired front license plate. Figger that libtard thing out.

Automotive magazines have done tests with different types of cars, and different types of Radar guns, and not all cars are created equal when it comes to their "Radar signature". Some vehicles need to be a lot closer to the Radar guns location for the radar to get a good reading.
A cars front plate helps level the playing field, and gives any car a better radar signature.
Everytime somebody in Ohio gets the bright idea that they could save a lot of money by only making one plate per car, the Ohio Highway Patrol instantly lobbies to keep the 2 plate system for adequate Law Inforcement.
Makes me wonder why Law Enforcement agencies in so many other states can do their jobs quite effeciently, with just one plate, but not the Gray Bears in Ohio.
