removed front license plate - SRT Forums

srt4eva · 10-04-2004, 12:03 AM

removed the front license plate and zip-tied it behind the mesh... just did it tonight so i'll post pics tomorrow when its light out... bit more of a pain than i thought but looks good imo... now just gotta get a plug and some touch up paint. hope the new lakewood popo's dont notice lol.

off topic, but any e-blue w/ eyelids? want to get some depending on how well they match stock paint... lemme know if you have or know of eyelids that match.

Werd. I run my plate in my windshield. I've only been 'talked to' once. No ticket, however.

Well, let us know if you get hassled. I've been contemplating this myself.

As for the E-Blue eyelids, there are some that are close. But when you see them in the sun, there is a definite shade and metalflake difference. The solution, if you want matching eyelids is to buy the CF eyelids (or fiberglass... CBD is coming out with glass versions soon) and have them painted to match.
You can also paint the vinyl, but I can see that being a lot of fun!

I found a place down here in Oly that'll mix you up a spray can of code-matched paint. $35 for setup and $9 per can.

I bought my CF eyelids with the painting plan in mind. Then I put them on the car... They look to damn good to paint!

CBD already makes the fiberglass ones. That's what I have. $65..shoot them a PM.

These are painted by AndrewsSRT-4's shop:

Lookin good Jaymes!

jaymzx · 10-04-2004, 06:15 PM

thx. They're well-made parts for sure.

69YenkoSC-SRT4 · 10-04-2004, 07:09 PM

Agree. Did you have any trouble getting the adhesive primer around the light? Those glass ampules are a pain. I had to ask CBD for some more since I screwed up the first one...

jaymzx · 10-04-2004, 09:42 PM

Naw, no problem with the primer..other than it fogs the acrylic wherever you put it. I got a little overzealous so I have some polishing to do ....

dude you suck. i have gotten so many tickets for that same thing. o i hate how others get away with it but i can't, what the hell.

It depends on how much of an asshole your local cops are. Other than the plate, they have no other reason to pull me over. I don't give them one.
LFP cops don't say anything, the state patrol doesn't seem to care, and Bothell PD has had a chat with me once. He didn't like my tinted rear cover or the front plate in the window. I removed the plate cover and left the plate in the window and haven't been hassled since. Oh, and Bothell PD said something about it one time when I got a speeding ticket, but didn't ticket me for it.

Bad srt4eva! No biscuit!

You're blocking your intercooler.

Just kiding man. Looks good. Just wish the zip ties were a little less obvious.

srt4eva · 10-10-2004, 10:43 AM

theyre only noticable within 5 feet of the car so its not too bad... i still get nervous driving past a cop though
