How my night started and then ended...PART II

Another package arrived today, and I couldn't wait to get started. So without further adieu (again iPhone pictures, tonight it was actually hailing).

Before #1 (and the blacked out grill was just completed last week) >>>>>


Before #2 >>>>>


After #1 >>>>>


After #2 >>>>>


Special thanks to Gary for the spoiler.

** After tires come in I'll work on getting a full spread of decent pic's put together. And yes, I still have temps on it...working fast.

Good start, front plate looks like ***. Yank it off and toss it in the garbage.

Yeah... I ran without a front plate on my Cayenne, and then got two tickets downtown, and pulled over once. For the next set of pic's I'll take it off, but I got tired of the hassle, and the money wasted on those tickets could go towards more mod's.

Crazy man.... I have never had a front plate on any one of my rides here... Never once got hassled. I guess I always said to myself I would rather pay the fine than destroy a rolling piece of art.

Can't say I blame you though. Police already had a chance to check out my new car got a speeding ticket yesterday fiddling around and not paying attention lol...

I haven't run a front plate in years and the only time I got a ticket was when the cops raided a car meet I was out and wrote everyone up for ANY equipment violations. I just asked the cop if he would take cash so I didn't need to mail the ticket in.

When I lived in Jersey I never ran a front plate, and also never had issues. Continued that trend out here in Denver and wham, two tickets and pulled over.

I guess I'm just unlucky?

I can say, all three of my tickets were downtown. I didn't have issues "around town".

Yeah, picked it up 60 days ago, 38k miles on it. Nice switch from the C4. I also got a warranty through MB on it! Full Platinum, which I think was totally worth it.

That is eventually the plan, though that'll probably not happen for a few months yet.

I've been in Denver for 11 yrs and never got a front plate ticket at all.
Just park off-street in downtown or North Cherry Creek area. There are plenty of outdoor or indoor parking lots.

Yeah. Both tickets were downtown. One across from Pats the other off Larimer. The pull over was on 31st heading home. This was all in a different car though.

So I succumb to peer pressure and took the front plate off. Ouch, the bumper looks horrible!

I think i need to put it back just to cover up the holes...and there is scratching from around where the plate mount hit the bumper. I fear the only fix is to take to a body shop and have it filled, sanded and painted. I don't think even bumper plugs can help this.
