There are already two threaded holes in the stock grille, but you need a special stand-off plate-holder to attach it. The plate won't attach directly to the holes in the grille. It came with the car, if you bought a used 8 without one, then you can get one from the dealer.

I've never run a front plate on this car, or my 7 when I had it.

In Utah they won't pull you over for no front plate, but if they pull you over for something else, they will write you up for it then.

$25 fine. Most people I know will just pay the fine if it comes to that.

Next time you're driving, just notice how many cars in the oncoming lane have front plates. You'll be surprised at how many DON'T. I've noticed sometimes it's better than one car in ten, even one car in five (between 10% and 20%) without a front plate. It's not just sports cars with low, sleek noses, it's everything. Trucks to junkers.

I personally think its completely stupid to have it, have you ever been pulled over from the front? if your going one way, a cop is going another do you actually think he is going to catch that tag number? my answer is now to all of the above. In florida we had no front plates and that didnt seem to hinder the cops efforts to ruin peoples days haha

I would like to take mine to the salt flats, but seen as I had my tires siped, they are probably only good for like 130 now.

You have to go in the late summer/early fall. Right now the Salt Flats are the slush flats, and will remain soft until summer heat has baked them hard for a few months.

There's only a narrow window each year when you can make a run. "Speed Week" is when everyone gathers out there for the official attempts at the records.

I haven't heard much about laminex, but it kinda looks like the fog light covers I had before my crash. I liked it just didn't want to do it again, I don't even use my fog lights anymore.

It's the season opener right? I heard if it rains or snows even a little bit your ticket is good for a free game in August.

Hey Guys sorry its been so long since i have posted. I am still here and have been reading everything regularly. I guess im more a site lurcher than anything. I pulled up next to bose last night on state and 106th and I just had to comment how sick your 8 was. I really like the small accents you have added here and there. Im jealous i missed the last couple of meets after seeing some of the pics.
