you mean a temporary plate? NYC is quick. they have been catching no front plates often. NYC is broke. I had to put the plate on back on the coupe. 2nd no front plate ticket in 3-4 months!

So I decided to put the matte black grill on, and I tinted those ugly orange reflectors! Taking a day off next week, and getting tints and putting the spoilers on!

Window Units? yes. a lot of places still have and are using window units. mainly because the AC only runs during the summer months, during the cold seasons, we take em off.

I want that thing to look mean as heck! a set of luminics titanium h8s are on the way for the LCI angel eyes. I hope it gives the mean look.

if it doesn't I'm gonna go for Hoen Endurance bulbs for angel eyes and fogs...lol its gonna be yellllllloww!

as for wheels, I'm def. getting a set of M6 replicas for my winter setup! but my spring/summer setup, I'm gonna take my time, and hopefully buy it around spring time.
