Just out of curiosity, do you notice any difference in the buffeting while driving w/ window down?
Cheers.

When driving, do you put your front license plate on your dash?...or do you just not get hassled by police. When I lived in California, I got warnings in different areas and then a fix-it ticket. I finally just gave in and slapped the front plate on the bumper.

You need to sand/buff/and polish the headlights...

Some states - not sure if CA is one of them, but if your bumper is not already drilled, they don't require you to do so. When I lived in cali I got pulled over for not having mine too, lol.

Not true. Some states do not require front and rear plates. The states that require front plates, require front plates. ALL motor vehicles except motorcycles sold in the US must be capable of mounting a front plate, by Federal law. If the manufacturer does not include a bracket for mounting the plate, then they just screw a plate mount into the front bumper, like on the Yaris. Enforcement of any state's front plate law is by local PD/HP. It seems they give a pass on some cars (especially Corvettes) but not others. I drove my Miata for 7 years without a plate and was never hassled for it; one time a cop went to the trouble to look at my front bumper but didn't say/do anything. So it is basically a crap shoot.

BAck to T-Sports' car, what is the hole in the bumper cover for?

Even though Maine reqs a front plate I only got hassled when I crossed the border back into the state from Canada.

As for the mirrors, do you notice the viewing area drastically reduced at all? They do look a bit smaller than the stock units. Also, not sure if you were a fan before or even if the OEM ones had had folded, but if so do you miss being able to fold them? Do they have the same footprint as when the mirrors are folded or take up less room? The more I look at them they are growing on me.

Yes they are about 50% reduction in size and viewing area, for me I personally like these better than the oem folding ones, they do get the job done as side mirrors, a bit small at first, with a few adjustments and got used to it within a day or two, no flaw at all and like how they look
