New pics of the 86
Just a couple, i was having problems with the camera and the car is too shiney, and im getting too much glare.






I forgot to flip up the plate, so hereis a "now you see it, now you dont" pic of the flip up plate.




i had a bunch more but they glare was soo bad they were junk, more to come later

gorgeous car! I love the black stripe on the back, it accents the red so well. Nice choice of wheels too! Keep up the good work!

Re: New pics of the 86
I may be wrong but I wanna say that it was you who had a little trouble that ended with your car slightly hitting a guard rail or something, am I right? but anyways its lookin as good as always!

Re: New pics of the 86
this is the plate bracket, though i bought mine on ebay for less, this was the only one i could find just now.
http://www.autoattire.com/stngofrho.html

its just a little manual spring assisted bracket, flip it down and slide it under the car, its a pretty clear install, just 2 little holes under the nose, though i made a little "Z" shaped piece of aluminum to support the rear of the mounting bracket and screwed that to the metal bumper under the car. I'll see if i can get a decent pic of it on the car.
