    Glad I have out of state plates otherwise my $58 parking ticket a few weeks ago would have jumped a bit.

    You can't just set it on the dash? I keep my front plate between the center console and passenger seat so I can correct it on the spot if need be.

    Google said it's not technically legal but it's also doesn't necessarily meet the requirement of easily visible so they can cite you if they so choose.

    You could also just use some 3M double sided tape. If you're going on the x-mas tree run I'll bring my roll and you can slap it on.

    I'll be at the Christmas tree run but its all good you don't have to bring the tape. I got 21 days to figure something out so I'm not in a hurry to correct it.

    Guys I know with street rods epoxy magnets to the back of the plate and then just stick it on when needed. I am assuming you have a plate bumper.

    Can you use 4 magnets and span the distance of the bars for your light bar? Some of the magnets are super strong.

    It's considered an accident "projectile" and frowned upon last I knew.

    My plate is on my lower skid, it's there if they wanna be petty albeit not highly visible.

    Mobil 1 in the engine and Redline MT90 in the trans, truck seems alot smoother on initial drive. Black shit came out of both at 6k, way over due. Trans plug magnet has a crap load of debris attached, and I saw some stuff in the pan, so I'm guessing that's what my clutch turned in to lol. Guess It's time to order a URD Stage 3 :D

    How will this Stage 3 clutch fix an operator problem?

    Because it can handle the horsepower much better and will engage quicker. Mind you, I knew from the get go I was gonna burn the clutch up, I havent owned a manual car before...driven, yes, owned, no. First manual anything was a motorcycle. I know I'm rough on the clutches, but youd think one would last more than 5k miles.

    Exactly my point. Supercharger or not, if you fucked up a clutch that soon, no amount of stages is going to help. Money is better spent on driving school.
