Hemi swap? As long as its a 5.7L Hemi you should be good to use in a Chevy truck....

oh great, here we go again, now what?

**Gregski** · 05-17-2021, 10:25 PM

you have got to be kidding us

Hey buddy, the 80s called they want their long mirror back!

I know, I heard their message on the answering machine. (see what I did there)

and all I am gonna say is if you driven one of these trucks for a while you will agree they have a horrendous Blind Spot

we have to do this because not running a front license plate in the state of California may cause cancer

**Gregski** · 05-17-2021, 10:32 PM

just mocking it up tonight

6DoF · 05-18-2021, 08:10 AM

the split bumper came out awesome!

sux about the front plate ... but nice solution.

**8man** · 05-18-2021, 08:52 AM

Nice design. Will it still cause cancer if you pull it back under any?

Cool retro mirror!

LoL, I concur and will try and do just that, just slightly back to where the cops can't read it, wink wink

**8man** · 05-18-2021, 09:48 AM

You're a bad man! But I say go for it.

layinrocker65 · 05-18-2021, 10:55 AM

I feel your pain. When I bought my BMW back in 2004 I decided I couldn't stand to put holes in the bumper so I went rogue. Interesting enough, I never got pulled over and my son drives it today without issue. However, when I took it into the Republic of Boulder, the meter maids would write tickets for no front license plate. After 3 tickets, I decided to not take it into Boulder

Oh man, I hear that, and don't get me started on Cop stories, I have the worst of luck and everyone I know tells me how cool cops are, my brother and I once got pulled over for doing 90 MPH over the San Francisco Bay Bridge after a 49ers game I think heading home, cop chased us for like 3 miles then pulls us over, and I am thinking we are dead, we are dead meat, turns out he went to High School with my brother and they played basketball on the same team, can you friggen believe that, he did not say a thing about how fast we were going or for us to slow down, they chatted for like 15 minutes and he said I gotta go, later !

**Gregski** · 05-19-2021, 07:51 PM

**Gregski** · 05-19-2021, 07:53 PM

Took your advice and pulled it back under some, and so far one day cancer free and counting

**8man** · 05-21-2021, 08:38 AM

the one thing I would recommend is not going black grille cause there is no contrast against the black radiator or core support, the murdered out look only goes so much and it sounds cool, black on black, but it just doesn't look good

I have a chrome OEM grille that is in pretty OK(ish) shape I may try on here and go with black bumperettes (sometime in the far distant future, ha ha) but for now I am just going to drive the squeaks out of it
