Just got back from my trip and a few things were waiting for me.

Got in:
~Stillen license plate bracket
~Floormats
~Sun shade

Also, by the looks of it I should be ordering the B&M short shifter this week which should give me some weekend fun. No pictures yet as my camera battery is dead from my trip, plus I need to wash & clean the car.

One week old car cover review:
~The car cover was on my car all week while I was gone, it rained last night so I got a chance to see how it did against the rain. Water still leaks through a bit so it will not stay 100% dry, a little sad here but not a huge loss. No dirt, bird poo, or anything got underneath the cover which was the main purpose of it. Glad to come home and see the only dirt on the car was what was there when I left plus some water that seeps through from the rain.

First up is the Stillen license plate holder. The car has not been washed in over two weeks, one week I was out of town, so sorry for any dirt left on as I do not have time to clean her until later this week(end).

Enjoy

Thanks for posting pics of the Stillen license plate holder. I was looking around the net to see what it looked like.
I'm not sure I want to get it after seeing how it mounts now... Aren't you worried that its blocking airflow to the radiator (or if you got an aftermarket oil cooler it'd be blocking airflow to that)?

Enjoy your car!

One interesting thing to think about this car cover is that if it allows a little water in, it allows a little water out. The problem with covers that don't allow any water through is exactly that, they will keep whatever humidity was in from getting out, and that might not be a good thing.
