Yeah, a front plate is mandatory here. And as if that's not bad enough our licence plates are huge, too. I can take some pics comparing them to an american plate, tomorrow.

/edit: As for the spoiler, I think I'll keep it. Shipping would kill us and it's been freshly repainted. Damn Van Nuys paint!

Since it's a V6 I guess at least it should look nice. I really need to find a wrecked Corvette or 4th gen for an LT1 swap...

Gorgeous! I have the same thing. I'm getting it painted coming up soon, same color as yours. What kind of wax did u use? How did you get your rims so shiny? Gimme some details here. Thanks.

Thanks! Actually if I got mine repainted I'd probably go with flame red metallic.

I first buffed the car, then used some generic car polish that actually works great and sealed it with two coats of armorall wax.

For the rims: only do it if you don't mind one whole night of hand sanding per rim. Here is my thread about them.
