| Glad to see you made it back safely. | |

| Where did you get your Stongard kit, the only place I found to purchase it was directly from Stongard. Thier prices are pretty steep - supposedly because the one piece bumper. But they definetly make the most complete I have seen. I was wondering if there was a place with better pricing. Let us know how it turns out. | |
| Do you have any idea how much that Dupont paint job runs? Also, has anyone any alternative ideas for the front plate being displayed on the front bumper? Especially for the authorities in Ca.? Can it be displayed somewhere convenient inside the car? | |

I hope you were able to endure the hardships over there, with no permanent trauma. Did you get the chance to at least say Hi to our Canadian boys over there? and I hope there was not any hard feelings for the 4 that were killed. Our people are coming home in July-Aug and not being replaced because our lousy government (Liberal) thinks the military is not imporant and we don't have the manpower any more to send anywhere. Hard to believe that we had one of the largest militaries in the world during WW2. I spent 13 yrs in the Canadian military and am embarrassed at our position in the world. Welcome back and to all my US neighbours, have a great Memorial Day weekend and hope every one drives safe. End note. I had my car in my 5* dealer on Thurs for service and check out any damage after I was rear-ended last week. I am happy to report that as I saw the guy coming I was able to hit the gas and it must have been the right thing to do because there was absolutely no damage to my car and any marks on the plastic came off with rubbing. The only damage was to my licence plate holder. I got a lucky one and thanks DC for making those energy absorbing bumpers. |

Today is my car's 4th Birthday (well, not the exact day Otto built it, but the day I took delivery!) and I never put on the front plate or plate bracket (I use a short bungee cord when I throw it on to get through State Inspection every 2 years...) Never been pulled over, and I live in the most densely populated 2-plate State (NJ) in the US. PS: Never put one on my wife's 2001 Concorde either, although the dealer did screw in the #$%^ bracket, so now there are holes in the grill. |

Easy...I also like the stock LHS chrome tips. They look a lot better than in the pics I took:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tsokol5/exhaust.htm
...I have since shined them up and removed the carbon deposits, etc.
If I can ever figure out how to cut-out the other side, and IF the existing tip can be salvaged after I have the resonator cut out, MAYBE I can order another LHS tip for the pass side exhaust. The LHS tip is tapered, or staggered, I guess to accomodate the "curve-ier" LHS rear-end. I wonder if I could just take a new tip and flip it for the pass side? I would have to drill new drain holes as the holes would then be facing upwards, but other than that, would that work?? PS: It's hard to believe the original M's didn't come with chrome tips like the LHS. When did DC start putting them on the M?? |

A while back I remember seeing a photo of an M with the license plate bracket mounted below the upper grill and in front of the lower grill. Not sure how it was hooked up but there were no holes drilled in the fascia. Unfortunately for me and others, the dealer screws the damn thing on before the cars are even sold! 300michael - Well, their was sort of a duller stripe on my hood! Of course, it was immediately Pinnacled away! |

| I can only guess as to what that paint job would run. A few years back I owned a Nissan Skyline when I was living in Japan. Multi-reflective paint jobs are pretty popular over there and I was considering getting a multi-blue reflective finish. I went to 3 "specialty" paint places and the cheapest estimate I got was $2,200.00 to do it right. I didn't do it. The car was 8 years old anyway. Some of them sure do look fantastic though! | |
