Heh, naw they look like crap w/o the Photoshop'n, but every other car has them so its par for the course here in NJ.

Another downside of the front bumper: I bumped my snow blower pulling into my garage like 15 mins ago and it left an indentation - sooooo mad!

Not mine, but I do have almost unlimited access to drive it. It just sits in a garage because the owner works in NYC and walks to the train. That thing is a death trap, you feel so confident in the car and then you get on it and it wants to run away from/with you - sometimes towards a tree.

I'm going to take a picture of his tail lights when I get a chance, they look like two globes. I think they put them on the '05 convertables too, M and 3.

The dealer mounted the front plate on mine, but threw the plug in the glove box for me, in case I want to run it without a front plate. I keep the plate on. Why give the cops another reason to bug you? I guarantee that if you get pulled over for speeding and the cop is thinking "well, if he's polite, I'll let him go" and then he sees you purposely run without a front plate, I'll bet you're not going to get out of there without a ticket.

I'm cruising at 3,000 in second when he puts his right turn signal on and makes for the shulder to turn right. I ripped it in second as was at about 6,500 (and going over the speed limit) when I passed his open window - I'm pretty sure I left a good impression

sweet car, but what you did is known as a "ricer flyby"

Haha you're going to get me kicked out of the library because I just started cracking up. I must say that in the last week I'm probably notorious for doing "ricer flybys" all over town - oh the shame.
