Default plasti-dip'd the emblem

Some of you didn't like the chrome black-out on my car, but I really dig it. I did the emblem too just to see. It's kind of like the rest, I like it, but I liked it before. We'll see if it grows on me.

It all looks better outside and in person than my cellphone pictures (car look mud colored or something), but this is what's easy...

One time I've gotten a ticket for no front plate, but that wasn't why I was stopped.

I don't run an inspection sticker either, that way from the front I could easily be from WV or something. You'll want to keep the plate and pink inspection slip in the car though.

Yea I have gotten hit twice for not having a front plate. I had it sitting on the dash for the first one, cop said it wasnt displayed properly, so I just took the plate down and put it under my seat. The got hit again! It was good that the cop had to call two more cars in for backup when he pulled me over, F-ing VA!

So glad I moved outta that damn state! I never ran a front tag either. Got busted years ago when I was still riding a third gen camaro but never since.

I think the emblem looks good. I did my v's and the CTS badge and really liked the look too. I left the caddy badges chrome though.
