I ordered a right angle OBD2 plug extension from Amazon and got a rather odd surprise with the cable...

Vinyl is a nice and cheap solution that is easily reversible for those who want that. That said, I'd like to try out Metalcast next. I have the paint from a previous project, just haven't had a fire under me to actually give it a shot.
I have customers that are still rockin my Overlays from 2004-2005 and still holding up well! Just take care of them and they can last a good long time .

I remember when the TOM'S were first shown lit up and everyone was all, "Eh, I don't like this," or "Oooh I don't like that." Now I see them all over the place. haha I'm so glad I helped push for them to come stateside! They look so good!

I went out looking for big parking lots with good lighting, no curbs, and no other cars.
It snowed here today

Just out of curiosity,

what is the process of getting a custom license plate?
I've looked into getting it in florida, but their plate designs are crap (mostly oranges and sunshine) and I would prefer to have a solid color plate with custom letters.

Anyone experienced in doing this?

The other day I noticed my port DRL was out. Yesterday I took it to the dealer and was told rodents had completely severed the wiring to the fog/DRL on that side. No idea how I'm supposed to keep rodents off a car that sits outside, ugh. Someone suggested pouring coyote pee on the ground around it. Sounds like a good way to end up with a car that smells like piss.

I feel like the FRS guys wouldn't like them as much, but they nearly match the BRZ headlight boomerang perfectly.

You're stuck with what ever your state offers.

Go here and put in what you want it to say and then they'll tell you what plates are available with that. From there you can go to the sample images and see what plates look like what.
