Got the car coded by John at Motorcepts and picked up the retractable license plate.
Was an easy install. Cut the grill, drill holes on the bumper and the metal bumper structure. Wired the postive to the positive lead under the hood. Negative to a screw under the headlight. Mount the bracket and done.
Next mod is to get off my lazy ass and go to the damn DMV and pickup my stored custom plates.
