Hmm. Interesting idea. Deserves looking into.

Great looking 8. I love the appearance pkg. no spoiler. Just like mine.

Can you get away with no front plate in NY?

Pure sex

The only thing I can suggest is getting R-Magic sides. A very subtle skirt that lines up perfectly with the AP.

There is no chance of getting away with not running plates in NYC. Cops
ticket cars even when they are parked. I'd love to go plateless but can only think of one idea. Leave a note on the dash or tell the officer that someone broke your front plate frame while parallel parking and that a new mount is backordered at the dealership. I could win in court but I don't have time to be going to court. Gotta make a livin'.

Thanks for the good words and suggestions. I was thinking about doing a black vinyl roof overlay but after reading these comments I think I should rethink those plans.

Beautiful! I may be a bit of a sucker for gold rims though, especially on a white car

Wow, ok, didn't look at the car when I responded to troll (yay iSpy) but your car is beautiful! I love your rims and it really sets off the color. Great job!

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate all the positive feedback - sometimes you never know who's gonna get ripped a new hole when they post pictures! LOL

As for the H-Techs. Yeah not a lot of guys on here run them and I think it's a shame - I really am enjoying them. I've had other cars in the past lowered on either springs and sleeve coil-overs but I think the drop with the Htech is perfect for a daily drive car in an urban setting. On the street people know I'm lowered but the car looks well balanced and proportioned. I was looking to accomplish a unified, clean, and mature look and the Htech drop was a good match.
