The car feels so much better. It makes me want to add more Bolt ons and go for more. Im extremely happy with hills garage. They were awesome.

Hills Garage was awesome experience for me as well. Frank installed my FI CBE and NST Pulleys, he does some really nice work. Eventually want to go the Uprev route in the future as well, and would be going back to get it done at there. Nice numbers you got as well.

Did you remember to do the negative terminal ECU Reset when you got home?

Yes sir, I actually just got done doing the ECU reset, then I took her to the gas station, topped her off, and did what you said, and drove her pretty good. I like it, lots and lots fun.

Thank you soo much Chris and Bobo, Im sending yall some Rep.

Ok after seeing everyone without their front plates I had to take mine off. I love the look without the plate. Well then I had the two stupid holes in the front plastic.

So I went out to autozone to see if I could find something to plug it with. I found some plastic panel retainers (Dorman 963-045 for Chrysler, Ford, GM Panel Retainers) at autozone for $2.50. Two of them were perfect fits, and the color matches almost exactly the magnetic black of my Z. It looks really like they are meant to be there.

I would get pics, but it's getting dark outside.

If anyone else is looking for something to cover those holes, you should try these out.

Im leaning towards getting the stillen license plate kit, its about $100.

That is definitely nice, it lets you to run a plate when you want to, and then take it off when you don't want it. Have you gotten any tickets due to no front plate?

That's my plan is to put the plate on my dash for normal use. It's at a good price $71.36 from Stillen with free shipping.

I used to run no front plate but I would literally get pulled over for it at least twice a week. Heck, the first week I got the Z I was pulled over four times lol.

It got old real fast so I just put mine on.

Yeah the local police definitely tend to pull people over for no front plate. On previous cars I have gotten a few tickets. I am considering the Stillen plate but will see how it goes for a bit first.

Awesome I needed those for the holes in my front bumper too.

I refused to drill my bumper in the 1st place. I have had 3 warnings about the plate in my window. I was told to "mount" it to the car....I installed a Show N Go this weekend. It takes about 5 seconds for my plate to flip out. By the time the fuzz gets to my window I'm ready.

"What do you mean no front plate?!?!? Did some one steal it? Can I see? .....What are you talking about officer? Its right there!"
