I LOVE my car. Picked it up at 6 and just got home. The dealer had a front plate on it which has left 4 holes which will drive me insane. I need options. Also the clear bra was done around the plate leaving a spot with no clear. Morons.
What options do I have for both of these issues
Thanks

Bumperplugs.com for the license plate holes. Board sponsor and a damn good product.

Hope this helps.



It does not look like Meteor Gray. See my Avatar for my Meteor Gray. Looks more like Atlas Gray.

Definately Atlas gray.

Are there any specific suggestions on shift points. I have driven a stick for the majority of my life outside of my Pepper but all cars are inherently different. I am shifting in the 3-4500 range. Too high/too low?
Thanks

That's about right for normal street driving... on the lower side if there's family riding in the car. For WOT I like to shift before 7,000 RPM to keep it safe.

Too low. These engines in the 997.1's come alive with a soul-jagging howl around 4500 up to 7000. This is where they are meant to be driven - let the engine warm up before you go about 4000 but after that let it rip. You'll burn through more fuel at the high revs but it's just WAY MORE FUN!
