too much CF on a silver car, but looks like the fitment is pretty good. may or may not get it. need to see how it is on phil's.

TW has a lot of good stuff. the plate holder i just searched around is NT4500=$145USD. CF interior kit for 01-04 in either silver or black are around $700-800USD.

In essence, just undo the upper trunk lining, all the pullpins.. and then undo all the pullpins for the plate holder and it'll fall right out.

I love it, even on silver. Maybe you should consider 86ing the chrome bumper molding.
