    Thumbs up Sweeeeet!!!!!

    I LOVE IT! I've got the same look on mine (headlights/no plate)... Now I can see what it's going to look like with a lift and meats! Nice!!!

    BTW... the part about the covers "protecting" the headlights is not 100%true... They actually damage/scuff them up after a while. You can put the "loop" side of a velcro strip in strategic places on the underside to help avoid this.

    Looks AWESOME!

    so what are you doing with the front plate then?

    it looks good.. i want to get rid of my front plate.. but md requires it... although.. i drive around in pa 99% of the time anyway... hmmm

    Careful on the plate Ryan. You have the same setup I did until Pct 5 popped me about a month ago. Let me go (professional courtesy perhaps) but that ticket can get expensive. I switched to putting the plate back on.

    I've lived in Dallas for 20 years with NO plates on front.(I hate the look)No cop has ever said a thing.
    I did get pulled over,in the middle of nowhere,by a sheriff on the way back from Moab. He must have been bored.

    I have never run the front plate either......I act stupid when pulled over, only once did DPS pull onto shoulder, let me pass, only to get behind me and pull me over for that alone! Warning is all I got......they did make me get out of the vehicle and stand in the ditch due to the weapon.......LOL

    Knock on wood!! The state was going to drop the front plate law a couple of years ago.It would save the state millons of $.I guess they changed their mind.

    Mean looking ride there man.

    I like the light covers on the ebony VX, not sure I would like it on any other colour.
    And by all means, take them off at night.

    Damn, wish I could but those tyres in Aussie.
    They look mean.

    LITTLEBEAST--- Hmmm, I actually like it WITHOUT the headlight covers. With them on, it makes it look like the snake is sleeping with its eyes closed. The bare headlights make it look like it's wide awake; lookin' at 'ya and ready to attack!!!

    Regarding the license plate-- I would re-install the plate with a "smoked-colored" license plate cover.

    So; there you go-- bare headlights & smoked license plate cover is my vote.
