Default Little mods make all the difference!

Well, as if I needed anymore blinding devices, I've been doing some small mods here and there to keep me somewhat busy since I'm broke as ****... Hope you like... Kara got me the plates! Not totally original, but still looks cool nonetheless...

$40/year + the cost of your regular registration..

you can download a form online, pick 3 options for the plates you want, send it in with your $$..they'll send you a notice when you can pick up the plates at your local tax annex...

couple of months before registration - they will send you a notice, and that's when you send the $40 and they will send you the red and white registration papers that you send in to get your tags...you HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU CAN REGISTER YOUR CAR..i made the mistake of NOT doing this and they gave me SO much **** at the annex about it.

It's a LED circuit board. They're pretty easy to make if you have some basic understanding of electronics.
