Re: A '54 named Busty
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 |

Re: A '54 named Busty
we have to do this because not running a front license plate in the state of California may cause cancer

Re: A '54 named Busty
Nice design. Will it still cause cancer if you pull it back under any?
Cool retro mirror!

Re: A '54 named Busty
Just tel the police the truck didn’t come with a front plate in the 50s. Worked for me before.

Re: A '54 named Busty
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

Re: A '54 named Busty
Took your advice and pulled it back under some, and so far one day cancer free and counting

Re: A '54 named Busty
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 |
