You said "zomghax took off his front plate".

I said "you must be thinking of someone else".

Are you thinking of ordering stage 2?

Thinking of stage2? well get off your ass and order LOL

I have been waiting for over 4 wks and we are looking at recieving in two weeks.

GM is backordered for 127 of these things. in a week they will have 200 then another week to ship to my dealer. I have been given that in all likelyhood one of the 200 will be mine. that is good news cause I was going to jump ship. I was emailing HPT and Intense to get more info. on there stuff today. (day off).

So go order yours and you could get one of the 73 that have not been spoken for in this shipment. dont pay more than $840 CDN though.

Edit - I have a pulley puller/installer so I will be putting the kit in myself. Dealer will do the reflash

Hmmm .... I think they mean on the part. according to my dealer any way. correct me if I have misinformation.

Edit: I just checked my GM Protection Plan fine print:Yeah checked the fine print too. it says coverage will not be provided if the cause is due to a alteration. and that is it. You can check out SEMA for there notations on alterations on vehicles and vehicle warrantys as well. GM is a member of SEMA and support the data on the website. I can modify what ever I want, but if it causes a problem due to my doing and then that repair is on my shoulders. that is the way it has been explained to me and GM Canada supports this as well. Remember your employment said no warranty coverage with stage kits as well some time back. Then we found out different info. from GM. I understand that if I intall a GM part it is only covered for one year. the reason is that GM does not have documentation on where that part was installed. that is the only reason. That is a risk I am willing to take on a belt, pulley and injectors. I have never had an injector fail on me. It has happened but not that often.

That is the plan. or I could ask them. I thought it was okay as long as it was displayed, like on the dash. Where could I find info on this? Province of manitoba? MPI?

Well I checked it out. I guess the cops could debate it still but according to vehicle standards (Division of MPI) it says the number has to be visible on the front of the car. and on the rear the number and registration sticker has to be visible. The officer on the phone asked what I did. He felt that is was ok as long as the plate # can be read. that is what is important.

depends on who pulls you over I guess.. They could look at it as you are trying to hide it.. Since it cant really be seen from the sides. Who knows!

Also had a buddy with a talon that put his liscense plate on the front mesh, similar to what you did. He had it on there for about 15 mins before he got pulled over. Needless to say, he ended up biting the bullet and drilling holes in his front bumper.

I was always explained that defacing the plate in any way is illegal, and because you don't have a visable "Friendly Manitoba" that's concidered defacing.. Who knows though. It really depends on if the cop that pulls you over is a bitch or not.

and besides of the legal stand point theres also a mechanical downside.... gm did not put a mesh in front of the bumber like that cause it decreases air flow through the inner cooler and can cause over heating in the charger itself... we have a bullitin at work for this as well.. gm had problems cooling the chargers down to begin with

Hmmmm ... I don't think my modification affects it. Engine runs the same temp and the plate over hang is just slightly more. Photo chop for you to show you what I mean.



but thanks for questioning it.

I spent most of today infront of Photoshop trying to figure out what debadging style I wanted to go with... I swear I went through 15 possible versions of removed badges. Finally I just decided to go clean.

Not a bunch of positive attitudes on here lately. But Man, that is why I nickname him as UreteR some times. Cause he just likes to **** on everyone and what they do. LOL

LOOKS Great Maj. I am so torn to do the same and I am afraid to become a copy cat a copy cat....LOL.

**** right off with the UreteR thing. You are in no position to start changin my nickname around. We're not quite at that buddy buddy stage just yet. lol
I dont know you, and I must say, from the way we get along here I dont like you. I cant even pretend anymore like I give a **** about what your saying.

Not too many people **** me off the way you do Ssnipes. Congrats on that. Hope I never have the pleasure of meeting you!

Maj, it looks ****** awesome, I love it on the orange. You totally took it the wrong way. lol Note the : with a P = :P.. Type that into MSN, youll figure it out.

Well all I can say I am sorry. Obviously I struck a cord. If you did meet me I think things would be different. You dont understand me either and my sarcasm. I understand yours. I was just teasing right back. I thought man this guy can dish it out that you would see I am a joker and it would slide right off.

You told me you dont like the UreteR thing so no problem...LOL.... Really if I was upset or thought of pissing you off it would be on here with words. I really dont waste my time with that sort of thing.

Your opinion about my car is cool with me - you like some aspects and you dont like others. It was not that I didnt value your opinion. I just was telling you about what others have to say. You like the wingless look and I have people tell get the wing back, and you dont like the lights and others love them. to me it doesnt bother me cause I am not changing the car for anyone else. I change stuff for me and decide what I want. Its just something to talk about.

the lastest thing for example - front plate - everyone has been helpful with two concerns - no heat (cops) and no over heat (blocking cooling)...LOL. I appreciate it and I know everyone cares. I think you care, just not right now cause I pissed you off. Really I have no reason to do that.

Bottom line is - Have a good time here and post. I will try to refrain from typing anything that is not respectful anymore about any posters (like right now). No personal attacks even if it is in a joking matter from my point of view. In fact if you post I wont post. not until you meet me. If your up to it I will buy you a beer. I am being sincere.

later.

Nah dude, I knew you were joking. We all seem to have the same attitude. We crack jokes and make ******* like comments at eachother because thats how we are with our RL friends, but when it comes to having them said to us, we just don't know how to take it.
It's all good. I don't have anything against you.

BUT!
