Other than that, you will find it is a nice area to have a family.

There are shop around here....just sell wheels and audio installation. That our "mod" shop, yeah its lame.
So, what i do is getting parts online (Intense Power) and have Nissan install those part. Yeah, it can get pretty expensive but atleast you know they do a good job. As far as the bodywork is concern, I just look for a really good bodyshop that repair highend cars (Mercedes, BMW, Porche, etc.) to do the paint and installation. This kindda place charged a lot but the quality is the same if not better than OEM.
If you wanna do engine tuning,..you pretty much out of luck here. I wanna get a Utec install and tune, so i need to drive to Chicago (GRD) or Arizona (Intense) this summer.
YOu people in big city are lucky 'cause you guys have so many shop to choose from

I don't run a front plate no matter what state.
The other thing I wanted to ask was about winter. Do people stop buying parts and modding during the winter???

Speaking of front license plates, yes, Missouri does require one but I don't know if that is grounds for the police to stop you. There are some offenses which they can ticket you for but only after they've stopped you for something else-like speeding.
If I'm not mistaken,Kansas does not require a front plate UNLESS you have personalized tags. Why? I have no idea.

yes a police officer can pull you over for not having a front plate on. Arkansas doesnt require a front plate period.

For the Tech - I moved from Long Beach to MO. No performance shops - but they do have this: http://www.partycovexxx.com/ And the culture shock is a little tough. But you don't have to carry a peice with you anymore
.Performance shops - if you own a stock car - well ya - this is redneck country
The cost of living is cheap so you can afford to live in KC, Overland park, Olathe and have a house in southern MO, on the lake, near party cove
: Now for The Professional and Idwin - Marbles in there mouth -
I never thought of it that way - but OK! And I thought you guys liked me 
After my discussions with Idwin - I'm guessing I won't see you this year in Branson -
