Corbin, I'm gonna have to say that the license plate on the dash needs to go. The LEOs don't really enforce the front plate law and it only draws [unwanted] attention to the cabin. I also happen to think it's ricey, but that's just me. Nice pics, btw.

I'd have to agree with chris. It's also dangerous in wrecks as the metal plate could go flying chopping off someones head.

I still have been having problems with my stupid abs/vdc off/slip light coming on when I press on the brakes. Did anyone here run into a similar problem? So far I've topped the fluid (the bigger cylinder is the brakes and smaller cylinder is clutch correct? Cause I think my clutch cylinder is a little low). Changed the pads, changed the brake light switch and checked the fuses but it's still coming on getting a little frustrated. Tried searching like crazy and did all the above only to still having problem.

No lie, i took my girl's sentra to Service King with it there, and the guy that gave us our quote gives me the stare of death and the "u dont know what ive seen" speech.. i never really thought of it as a projectile until then.. makes since tho, because those things are crazy sharp around the edges..

Then again it'd make a great improvised guillotine for frienemies riding shotgun "U dont do what on first dates" 99 mph brake test lol jk

But i never put mine on and i get no crap for it!!

I saw that is-f at Stance of the Union. The roof I believe when I saw in person is a cf vinyl/overlay of some type.

They do in plano unfortunately. I ONLY use that thing when I drive through plano usually. I have been pulled over 3 times for it when I was just minding my own business.. It isnt on usually. and I HATE THE WAY IT LOOKS ( just tired of being bothered for it)

Good morning everyone! Jake, Taylor got his camber kit in.. lemme know if you wanna get some brews and help us out.. I think I could knock it out but it would be more fun to come chill at your place ha.

sorry for the double post but I met a guy last night with Novaworks.. I believe is what the company was called. He quoted me 150 to do a matte CF wrap on the roof of my 370. I have his card at home if anyone wants the info.

Update:

After week or so, result was not that good. I do not know how...but most of scratches came back. No, it wasn't from driving. I did buff again at my buddy's shop and it looks ok now.
Anyway things that i wanted to update, since i said "place did great job"...i take that back.
