    really lol why, i think his way of mount license plate may work, but it is too late lol
    in fact, that 2 hole isnt that visible unlike in sliver car or white car lol
    Added: May 14, 2014 6:29 AM
    really man, but your car still look pretty sharp !
    Added: May 14, 2014 6:31 AM

    thats a great idea, but too bad it is too late, drilled already lol

    anyway, my friend suggest me using this: http://www.amazon.com/Show-Go-License-Plate-Holder/dp/B001E4E0ZW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1400049037&sr=8-3&keywords=license plate holder

    You can always polish it yourself :) it is really easy. Just get a cheap orbital or dual action polisher and go at it. Feel free to ask anything about it, I'm always glad to help!

    ^ Some coilovers and you'll be sitting nicely. I think the 9th gen lip kit really flows with the car.

    Hey, hey, hey. I'm waiting for my Gtec lip from a certain someone.

    I can't hate on plasti-dip, if its done right it can actually look good.

    Maybe just the sides and rear.
