CL55, mods and some info

Im new to the CL forums, I just sold my CLS55 and picked up an 06 CL55. So far so good, started mods this week, Carbon fiber front spolier an ELM and Kleeman Headers should be done by the end of the week. Also a set of DPEs coming in a few weeks. I have no front plate on the car and the cops here are really annoying about it, anyone know where I can get the tow hook license plate holder?
Thanks,
James

Glad I live in California I guess. Haven't even thought about my front plate (that is, lack of a front plate) since I got the car 3 and a half years ago. Another quick great mod for the CL55, remove the resonators from the exhaust system and replace with just a straight pipe. I did this about 3 years ago, passed smog fine. It brings out just a bit more of all the natural sounds that are already there, but without giving it the loud custom exhaust sound. When you feel how heavy those things are you'll be glad you ditched the weight.
