I sold my '98 white pearl Honda Prelude for the down payment of a whiteout FR-S. It's an AT and had 200k miles. Was my first car which i barely modded because it was AT. Now that I'm getting a MT whiteout im probably gonna end up putting in a grip of mods lol

[QUOTE=DAMN that's a big truck! Gonna be a bit of an adjustment going down that low, eh? [/QUOTE]

The truck had quite a build sheet on it. I hope my FR-S will too. When I first bought the FR-S I felt so close to the ground that I was riding my kids bigwheel around.

The answer to your question is, Yes, the license plate is being swapped :-)
I remember seeing a R32/33 (I can't remember which) about 8 years ago at a car show up in portland that looks very similar to yours. Id have kept the skyline just as a future classic kind of investment if i were you.

I'll be coming off an 06 Scion tC in December (hopefully). Couldn't get rid of the ol' triumph though
