Rub it in why don't ya!

[tutankhamon]

Agreed, too damn cold.
Can't get the damn spoiler off, dental floss keeps ripping apart lol

On a side note, seems like there are a few of us in this thread from the same area! If you guys are interested in a cheaper alternative to CF parts (ie mirror caps for example), let me know and I can put you guys in touch with someone (Toronto area). I'm thinking of getting my mirrors done.

Nice.

What are you going to do about the front plate??

My allocation doesn't come up for another 9 months...this is painfull.

What did it cost you for the stuff you got?

[fun2drv]

Good question, I'm not sure.

I'm looking for a bracket that may have arms that come up to allow the plate to essentially almost float there in the front (centered). I'm not a huge fan of the tow hook mounts myself. The search continues, but for now (on the few decent weather days we do have), I'm just driving without it.

Nice car!

LOL no way! I don't know how you deal with a "real" winter. If it gets to 40 here in the winter, no one goes outside

[PARTS@STBMW]

Congratulations! Well done all around.

You mean like this? Had one and they work great. You can buy one here.

That's perfect! Thank you

I too have been running with no plate. Cant stand having one. But I do need a solution because it will just be a matter of time before I get pulled over. I've gotten a ticket before on previous cars.

Tow hook or drillling the bumper is def not an option. Have you looked at the 'Sto n Show' mount? A bit pricey but best one so far I've found.
Ideally I'd love a remotely controlled one lol but reviews on them indicate reliability issues.

It's definitely only a matter of time. And as time goes on, the whole excuse of it being a brand new car and dealer hasn't fully set up all the plates yet becomes less and less believable.

Either way I think my strategy will be to exhaust any non drilling and non off-centered alternatives first. I think your link will be my plan B should the first one not work out. With it being only $10 bucks, I figured it's a good first step.
