Things i will be doing for sure: ricks license plate holder, volk center caps (if anyone sees any for sale let me know), new tires because the front tires are worn.
I'm curious; how could your front tires be worn on a 2006 car? Usually the back tires go first, and the fonts can last years. Did you have a bad alignment?

Wait... I've got it. You bought the wheels used, and they came with worn tires?

Josh,

You've got to loose the front license plate/frame...at least until your Cali plates show up.

They can't give you a ticket when plates aren't assigned yet.

And besides, do you really want to give free advertising to SM Honda?

Rims look nice, btw.

Laird.....still stock
Who said my plates haven't arrived

I just don't want to put any on...and i don't want an $80 ticket for no plate, at least this way they think it is a new car.

I ran my last car out here for an entire year with just dealer plates.

It's a touchy issue - yes i bought the rims used with tires and the guy promised me the tires had 85% left on the front and 99% on the rears.

Turns out that the fronts had 85% on the OUTSIDE of the tire, but 35% left on the inside... The rears have about 85% left, which is fine.
Sounds like a common problem. Be sure to buy the same model tire when you replace the fronts, and get an alignment pronto! Even new S2000s often need an alignment.

Car looks nice. Looking forward to seeing it in the dark on Sunday morning

TAKE OFF THE FRONT PLATE MOUNT!!! Sorry, just voicing my opinion . If you're going to run the mount, at least run the plate. If you're not going to run the plate, don't run the mount.

You are probably correct, but i park in westwood a great deal, and i would rather someone hit the surround than my actual bumper - it has already been pressed on twice.
