    Thanks bud! :D

    I am looking at doing a small hidden slide in style license plate mod to it. Since my stock bumper is now a memory of the past, I do not want to drill into that masterpiece of a front end, and zip ties are a pain in the ass. I was thinking about installing it right under the upper grille, that way when absolutely need be I can just pull it out from directly under the grille and pop it up to where it is centered right in the middle of it all, and all hassle from Law enforcement ceases.

    I was thinking velcro next, but that would look kinda weird just sitting there, plus velcro gets too fuzzy to stick back on over time. Magnets would be a much more viable solution. Any tips on where to get some good ones that won't let it fall off without some good removal force?

    I was reading on the Pelfreybilt forum something about super strong magnets. I forget exactly what they are called. You may want to check it out and read a couple pages back.

    Thanks dude! I get the feeling they are renamed neodymium magnets. If that so is the case, I can pick them up super quick at a local Fry's or Radioshack!

    It'll be fun. Alex is super fun to wheel with he charges in his Prerunner. the La Grange saloon is a blast too and it's just down the street.
