Plates missing in action

Picked up my Nordic Green four weeks ago tomorrow. Still have yet to receive generic plates. After I do I'll have to apply to affix my custom plates. I'm told that will take another couple of months.

Has anyone got a plan to avoid destroying the look of the grille by mounting a plate that blocks the intake?

I've been told there is a limit to the number of Fix-It tickets you can receive.

Maybe when Arnold "cleans house" in Sacramento, things will start working properly in this state.

I'm also planning on paying off my 8 with the windfall tax breaks I'll get from the Bush administration.

I still haven't got my generic plates yet. I may have to make a visit to the DMV to keep my personalized ones on hold. I took delivery on 7/25.

Mike, can you elaborate on this? What's the penalty for not fixing a fix-it? Do they get nasty with you after awhile?

What I meant is I got fix it tickets for air ride and exhaust and no front plate and the penatly is just proof of correction and 10 bucks so I would put the front plate on and get it signed off by a cop and then take the plate off again

Two months now and still no plates. How hard can this possibly be for DMV? I mean, we're just talking take the next set of plates off the stack and send it to me.

Wannabe, I got mine on Friday and I think we bought our cars the same week. Yours should be here any day.

I dont plan on putting a license plate on either. A lot of people in my car team have DTM cars with european fake license plates and they get away with it, they just say... oh its probably in the mail or got lost in the mail cuz I never received it. With a brand new car they will be understanding also.
