Yeah, thats a kickarse plate. Get white on blue plates to suit! But I'd take it off your post now so no-one else takes it! You could still have some fun as an N/A. LSD, decent exhaust, cam, etc, etc. Can't wait to see some pics of it with 18"s!

Yeah, can't wait to see those pics. Hey, take a close up of those 17" Venoms too, I want to see what they look like. White on black is good too; that'll be my choice when I get plates. What sort of LSD and gearing are you getting?

Great; I was thinking the front needed to be dropped a bit (didn't match the back). GM headlights? Or after market?
