Default C-5 grand sport lives !

Ok , when I recently convinced my pal the Silver Devil to part with his other car which he was not selling It had custom plates that matched his old alias c5gndspt. I was unable to keep that plate or re order it and had to find another way to keep the identity of the beautiful blue beast, which is listed in the grand sport registry somehow( I will need the devil to fill in those details) anyway, I went with this new identity, which makes it mine, and I love how it worked out. Did I mention I love this car

I like.......How did you get the front to look so good with a plate? It looks like it has a smooth molded center section.

Love it! Although, I'd get the plate mounting braket painted the same color blue as the rest of the car. Same with the back plate bracket if it's still the blah stock black.

Those came with the car when I bought it ( my 04 had it too ) For the other plate posts, I attract enough cops with the car ,am always at captree...and so are the cops. and the blue and white matches the car perfectly so it does not bother me too much. I am thinking of painting the plastic piece white so it becomes kind of invisible and smooths out the look a little

Hi hazchris,
Always loved the GrandSport look Is your white stripe paint or tape (and if the latter, from whom did you obtain it)?
