Yea def decent Number's for an auto Im sure the Dynopack might have been off but still decent. Header im gonna go with the Weapon-R with matching S-pipe and either a NST or Agency Power Crank Pulley . And also gonna replace the Scuba Tank in the middle with a High flow cat/res to free up some hidden pony's!!! Run with that set up for awile and save up for a Turbo kit down the road than ill see some big Numbers!!!!

Sure, some modifications are illegal (if you live in Cali, pretty much everything is.) tints, exhausts, etc. Fact is though, a cop can pull you over and give you a ticket because they could read your tag and run it through their computer.

If they see a car with license plates that are fake and not from this country, you're getting pulled over no matter what. Good luck trying to explain how 'cool' it is, because it isn't and the cop doesn't care.

If you really wanna do it, save em for shows... but yes, a Euro plate on a Japanese car seems counter-productive.

Also, since you're new here, let me lay it out for ya. If you post something asking for an opinion, you're going to get both positive and negative replies. If you can't deal with people telling you not to do something, don't post it, especially if you've already made up your mind anyway.

To recap:
fake license plates = illegal beyond belief
Euro plates on a Japanese car = silly

At the end of the day, it's your car and you're gonna do what you're gonna do. Good luck, I guess.
Thnx for the advice bro, I do realize there will be positive & negative opinions in these post, but you got to realize, where I'm from, when people talk ish, things happen... But I am a noob, & will def. think carefully of the things I post the next time around.

Great pic See that is exactly what I'm looking for. Not really the actual europlate, but the size of it + blacked out with white/silver lettering. Thnx for the great reply

Well i went to the mall today and asked the guy what the cost would be for a custom euro plate. I was shocked after hearing $95 For a custom euro plate, now does that sound crazy or what. After looking online found an officle euro plate with custom writeing for $44.95. now that sound better than $95.


Here is the site

http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/...42079d60c3f7c2



if i find a place cheaper ill def let you know and i can def get it made and send it back to you. but i think online is the best price so fair.

I had a buddy from West Virginia in the 90s who drew his license plate free hand on a piece of cardboard and at that time it was %100 legal. I repeat, he did not need to display his state issued plate, just the state issued registration number. i forget why he did this.

$95 What a joke of a vendor. I checked out the site, and it looks very promising, I just wish I could see a bsp with the same plates on as the SW one. Oh well I'm gonna pull the trigger and order it Fri(payday), Once again, thnx. P.S. It comes with a frame, wich is awesome
