I miss the bumper indentations. Wonder how to do that with the trunk lid?

It's the small things sometimes.

Was PMing with DJ the other day about vanity plates... My new one got here a few minutes ago, pity the postperson. So a cold rainy Friday night alone was saved.... :dude:

In AZ, as I guess many states, we have a choice of plate backgrounds... If you care here's the link to all of them: https://servicearizona.com/webapp/vehicle/plates/startChoice.do


Anyway I chose one that I think looks better on the car than the standard one, and bought a matte black metal frame with a thicker bottom piece... which hides the advertisement on the bottom of the plate (you were right DJ!).

As we've all learned it's that attention to detail that goes with our addiction which sets most of us apart. Below is a comparison... to much rain to get a good pic in my tiny garage.



Considering whether to mount a "3.5l TWIN TURBO" badge across the bottom.

I like the one on the top.  Just kidding !  It looks great!  I'll bet it looks even better when on, adding a splash of color the the Black SHO.  Well done!

New plate is nice!  You only get 1 year registration in AZ?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks Guys!    :thankyou:

There are a lot of styles available in AZ.  Yea, unfortunately, I must agree with you 2Canches about the BC tags.
The fee associated with the vanity plate ($25 over the regular plate fees/year) gets donated to the chosen organization listed on the plate if you choose one other than standard. We also don't have front plates.  This makes the front of the car look better if you get a vehicle that doesn't even have a front license plate holder or, worse indentations and holes in your front bumper.  Also, the state sends 2 plates, so if it gets looking funky there's a back-up.

SHOdded, see what I meant about noticing detail! In AZ vehicles can get 2 years at a time... it's just where I was in the cycle.... all the trailers (horse, utility, etc.) have lifetime AZ plates (no renewal even if sold).

I filled her up with 93.  There is a nice area of concrete pavement nearby.  On a roll, She barked when I nailed it, again when the tubos kicked and then into second.  Three barks in one. It was fun!

LOL  Actually, taking off from the light, the guy next to me thought he was going to merge ahead of me so I went from normal acceleration to nailing it.  Each time it barked the front slid a little to the right.  I was like whoa!
