@WatchmaN it took about 2 weeks. They called.me saying they had one coming in a day or 2, then they changed it to 2-10days. then it was 2 weeks. I was getting iffy myself, but it came now. Just be patient. & @everyone thanx everyone. I appreciate it. I wish I could take the day off but I need the extra hrs cuz I need to pay the rent this coming check along w getting insurance & all settled w the frs. So the more cash the better.

Assholes, a front plate interrupts the airflow thus hindering gas mileage, lack of a front plate looks better anyway.
