Nice.

Did the front brake rotors originally have cross-drilled holes?

Why do you have different license plates front and back?

Apparently, a specific license is required to drive forward, and different license is required for driving in reverse. I'm pretty sure I read this somewhere on the internet.

How do you manage to keep so much black so clean? I had a black car before my current white one and it was a nightmare...come out of the driveway and it looked grey! Always a fine layer of dust no matter what, and then the cloth swirlies..your car looks amazing!!

Florida only has the rear plate and he used the "euro" plate for decoration.

BTW, Jacksonville installed red light traffic cameras and, guess what, they were installed so that they only photographed the front.

I am lowered with the links. So far pretty satisfied with it.

And as for the exhaust, I am going to keep it for now. Just in case I may need it. But I will keep you updated.

I can't figure out why they are like that. I have 6000k HID in the fog lights and headlights. Would the fact that one is a projector and the other isn't make a difference?
and for the small lights/parking lights/DRL (whatever the are called LOL) are the LEDS. Do you have a link where you got yours? Maybe I will try buying different ones.
