Yah so far, the manager said that really has nothing to do with the stage kit so should be good.

I bought my car from GSL. And that is about the extent I will ever deal with them again. The service department sucks. The service manager sucks. I had a problem with my leather seat and it took 8 months to get it fixed properly. Under warranty of course, but there is no way it should have taken so long.

so i had this awsome idea spawn off this front license plate gadget lol

http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/prod...7323772f8bfbc6

Take that and mount it on the rear, extend it a bit so it goes higher and can block the rear plate from photogheydar and red light cams(don't go thru red lights tho, that's bad news unless it's 3am and the light won't change+no traffic, it happens to the best of us lol)

As good of an idea as that is, when you are caught doing that by a police officer....it won't be pretty.

When I had my Camaro( factory flip down plate to get to gas cap) I took the spring out and flipped it around and had a pin on it holding it up. I used a power door lock actuator to pull it and the plate would drop. but you had to manually reset it. Then on my R6 I used this one. it different activation.

so I was coming home from work at around 5am today and a huge piece of ice fell off of a truck i was behind.. seeing as how it was 5am I wasn't able to avoid it and it killed my radiator leaking coolant everywhere. also bent the ac condenser but it looks fine. lucky for me home was only a few blocks away. Can't get a new rad until tuesday cuz of the long weekend but at least there isn't any body damage!

Well..........my "streak" of not getting pulled over in the Balt ended tonight on deerfoot, i accelerated to 130km/h to pass a few cars and make the exit i needed, i get to the far right lane and bam, cherries flashing in the rear view mirror(RCMP), he does the usual license registration/insurance thing, see's my front window tint, he also nabs me on the rear plate being completely covered in dirt(no wash in 2 weeks now) and of course the 130km/h......he literally did not even go back to his car, he clears off 2 small spots on my plate to ensure it's proper and comes back to the window, "your lucky it's the end of our shift, slow down out there" walks back to his cruiser and leaves *whew*
