thanks ted, because your 06 is what inspired me to start messing with the badges ... still havent decided if im going to get rid of the "monte carlo" on the back ... but the "gm" square ones behind the front wheels are gone the next time im cleaning ...

man i wish i lived somewhere that didnt require front plates ... cops here will even write you if you relocate it from stock ... unless its a vette or better you better have the front plate on ...

when my old man had his 2002 camaro ss 35th anniv ... he got rolled once for no front plate ... when he had his 96 corvette ... never once got bothered

hey so i got some daytime shots after a wash so you can see the paint with the lack of crap and pollen on it ...



and to keep it technically on the topic of the thread ... hers a picture of the nite shades in the daylight ... ive since been followed by a few cops after doing something stupid in traffic and none have decided the taillights are obvious enough to warrant probable cause or to decide to screw with me ...

Hey DrJesus - where in IL do you live that cops give you so much crud? I'm in Lake County and it seems like the cops don't care around here if have a front plate or not. But, I've never been pulled over so I don't know if they'd slap me with another fine for not having the plate.
