the euro plate frame holds it onto the car. I would run just the euro plate and remove the us plate but I know of some people around here getting in trouble for doing that and keeping the us plate in the window
We got lazy and decided to install your front bags instead. o_0

I love this car.

yes but one bolt on each side is hidden under the panel that can only be removed if pretty much all the other panels are removed.. maybe there's an easier way but I don't know

nick broderick's garageband remix
and another picture


that's with the rears at about 120psi.. probably not a good idea to drive that high even but I talked to a guy at airlift and he said they test their stuff at 200+psi... in the video, the rears were at that height and the fronts started around 110psi (aerosports limit around 110 according to the bag) and the front bottoms out around 20-30psi. it takes about the same amount of time to air up as down

"That's a nice looking car. Oh my god."

"Oh that's too cool. Woah!"

- Tom Broderick

That song brings back some great memories.

You're car is still lower than mine fully inflated!

And I've been pulled over three times for the front Euro. Never gotten a ticket though for two reasons:

1. Sorry officer, it came like that with the car and I haven't bought a US plate holder yet.
(This almost fell apart though when an officer asked me how long I owned the car while holding my registration, and then was quite surprised to hear over a year.)

2. I tell the officer that the plate is really for identification of a vehicle, and while the police are going to use the rear more, a bystander is more likely to see the front. And what's really more memorable? 492 DTQ or SEXPANZER?
