This cloud bears a striking resemblance to England...maybe it's the blanket that covers it most of the time.

Car looks great, it's just ashame that they put front license on our all of our cars!

Cleanest way is to just get it painted. IMO

no front license plate bracket on mine!

my sales guy knows how I am about **** like that... takes away from the whole look of the front-end of our cars... so he didn't have them put the front plate bracket on, and didn't stick on their dealership tag either....

yes, we're supposed to have front plates in my state... so I have mine in my trunk...
