Nope...I'm not taking 17's. Besides I'm also not paying to get the tires removed and then paying to get them put on new rims that don't fit my 18's. WAY cheaper for both of us if you just bought some new Motegis.

You're kidding right?* You see the pics I posted?* Any auto parts store has them.* They are just auto body plugs that I painted and glossed.

It's done but my car is apart and inoperable as I'm getting some tuning tweaks done......Likely be a few days it looks like before I get the bowtie back on the car.

Yap...start small and drill all the way in(bout an inch in or so). Then get a bigger bit and do it again. I went through like 4 or 5 till they gave out as I was being extra careful. The rivets gave out. Then you either have to pull the pieces out if you can get to them or push it through.

SO rivets are like pins? Like big flat head nails? SO you just have to drill them until you make them come off? Im seriously so confused about this.

thanks for making this post. I just drilled mine and it looks so much cleaner. Going to walmart now for some clips. God i hated the front license plate as that is the gay law in texas. I see no corvettes or bmw's have them as if i get pulled over, I am going to say the dealer never put one on mine from factory as i didn't have the mount.

Well here are pics of my car today without the license plate and my neighbor told me it looks so good now without it. I just washed my car and took pics of it. I painted them gloss black with clear coat. I hope you enjoy. I bought the black pieces at pep boys for 1.99 for a 3 pack. I did have to use my dremel to make the holes a little bigger but it only took a minute or two. Please don't say anything about my lights how they are different because I have already new ones two tone painted now as i am wet sanding and buffing out the lense before i put them back together. I hope you enjoy.
